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.
Colour: Purple-red
Bouquet: Rich, intense aromas of black cherry and wild berry, enriched with fascinating notes of pungent spice.
Taste: The palate is smooth, with fine-grained tannins and an underlying impression of crisp balsam.
Longevity 5-10 years
