LUCENTE 2019
A cold and sunny winter was followed by a spring characterized by low average temperatures
and heavy precipitation, which contributed to the creation of important water reserves in
the soil. The reduced sunlight coupled with the heavy rainfall resulted in a slight delay in
the vegetative cycle of the grapevine. Flowering took place between the end of May and early
June, after which the growing season continued regularly with a hot summer free of excessive
temperatures and some rainfall occurring between late July and early August.
The mild temperatures in September and the good water reserves supported a slow and
regular ripening of the grapes.
TASTING NOTES
Lucente 2019 is an intense purplish red wine. The nose is characterized by notes of ripe red
fruit, raspberries and sour cherries, combined with a touch of vanilla and a slight balsamic
hint. On the palate, the wine is soft, balanced and well-supported by a pleasant crispness
and smooth tannins, characteristics that together with its sweet aftertaste give the wine a
persistent finish.
