Sophisticated aromas of lead pencil, graphite and blackcurrant. Hints of black olives and herbs, too. Full-bodied, yet tight and deep, with super precision and intensity to the tannins. Incredible balance of structure and finesse to this. Give it time in the cellar. Better after 2027.

Aromas and flavors of lavender, plum, black cherry, vanilla, earth and resin are the hallmarks of this concentrated yet lively red. Firm, ripe tannins give the finish grip for now, yet this red is complex and long, with all of its components in the right place. Sangiovese and Merlot. Best from 2026 through 2042. 10,833 cases made, 850 cases imported.

The 2021 is an incredibly floral rendition of Luce, displaying a seductive bouquet of dried rose petals and incense coming together with sawdust and crushed blueberries. It's cool-toned and sleek with a radiant core of red and black fruits underscored by saline minerals and a whiplash of brilliant acidity. Edgy tannins come forward through the close as the 2021 remains primary yet juicy. Sour cranberry mingle with licorice and spice on the finish. The fresh persona that Luce has taken on in recent years has propelled this label well beyond past expectations.
