La Vite Lucente 2023

A juicy and delicious wine with aromas of black cherries, walnuts, flint, graphite and matchsticks. Medium-bodied with creamy and refined tannins and a pretty finish. Inky aftertaste with some iodine. 60% merlot and 40% sangiovese. Drink or hold. Score – 95. (jamessuckling.com, June 3, 2025)
