Lucente Tenuta Luce Toscana 75cl
AED 175.00
Big Tuscan red energy, without the heavy lecture. Lucente is the juicy, dark-fruit side of Tenuta Luce, think black cherry, plum, a hit of cocoa, and a savoury little herby edge that keeps every sip interesting. It’s an Italy red wine that plays nicely at the table but still feels special enough for a “pour me another” night.

This is the kind of Tuscany red wine you open when you want depth, not drama. Lucente comes from Tenuta Luce, a Super Tuscan-style estate, and it hits that sweet spot between plush fruit and savoury structure. Black fruit up front, spice and earth underneath, and tannins that mean business.
If you’ve ever bought a red that smells great, then disappears the second you taste it, Lucente fixes that. It shows up with layers, it sticks around, and it doesn’t turn your mouth into sandpaper.
- Appearance: Deep ruby with a dark core, the kind that clings lightly to the glass and looks like it means it.
- Nose: Ripe black cherry and plum, dried herbs, cedar, and a dusting of cocoa.
- Taste: Dark berries and cherry compote first, then savoury notes (tobacco, spice, a little earthy grip). Fresh acidity keeps it lively, tannins are firm but polished.
- Body: Medium to full-bodied, with weight you can feel but not a slog.
- Finish: Long, warming, and lightly spiced, with dark fruit fading into cocoa and herbal notes.
What makes it worth your attention is how balanced it feels. You get the generous fruit that makes Tuscan reds so easy to love, plus the savoury backbone that keeps it grown-up. It’s a great pick if you like Italian red wine with real structure but you still want the glass to be fun.
At the table, it’s a natural with steak, roast chicken, mushroom pasta, or anything with a bit of char and salt. It also holds its own with richer pizza toppings (think sausage, olives, or truffle anything). Basically, if the food is bold, this wine doesn’t flinch.
It’s also a solid “bring to dinner” bottle because it pleases both camps, the people who want fruit and the people who want savoury complexity. No awkward polite sipping, this one gets finished.
Fun Fact: Tenuta Luce was born from a rare collaboration between Tuscany’s Frescobaldi family and Robert Mondavi, yes, that Mondavi.
