The grapes for the Lucente were handpicked and sorted followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for 12 days. After the fermentation the maceration on the skins lasted for 22 days which was followed by the malolactic fermentation. The wine was then transferred to oak barriques for further ageing for 12 months before bottling. Overall, this wine is complex, forceful, and elegant.
Bouquet: Intense fruity hints of blackberry, plum and currant, enriched by toasted and vanilla nuances.
Taste: It is full-body and enveloping, soft and elegant, with a persistent finish that displays a pleasantly sweet and fruity aftertaste.
Longevity 10-20 years
