Critic Scores

95James Suckling

Compact and focused, this medium- to full-bodied red presents dark fruit accompanied by notes of mocha, chocolate nibs, licorice and graphite. The palate is structured yet polished, showing a seamless, velvety texture with hints of wet stone. Earthy and spiced, it is beautifully composed and finishes long and even. Drink or hold.

95The Wine Advocate

Packaged in its explosive, intergalactic-themed label, the Tenuta Luce 2022 Lux Vitis places Cabernet Sauvignon firmly in the lead, with Sangiovese in a supporting role, resulting in a darkly concentrated and generous expression. Blackberry preserves, dark plum and blackcurrant define the bouquet, while well-judged ripeness and lively tension keep the wine from tipping into excess, despite the warm vintage. Aged in 100% new French oak, the sweet chalk-tinged tannins and seductive polish make this what Italians call a "ruffiano" wine, an irresistibly charming style built for immediate appeal. - Monica Larner

About this Wine

Tuscany

Tuscany is the oldest wine region in Italy, with a long history dating back over 2700 years. The region is on the Western coast of Italy, stretching from the coastline of the Tyrrhenian Sea all the way to the Apennine mountains, with the majority of the region being quite hilly.

Contributing to around 6% of Italy's total wine output, Tuscany is the third most planted region, but only the eight biggest producer. Much of this can be attributed to the hilly terroir and poor soils leading to lower yields, but generally higher quality wines. The region produces far more red than white wine, and is responsible for two of the most famous Italian red wines, Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino.

Chianti was first classified in 1716, and the region of Tuscany now has 29 DOC and 7 DOCG classifications. In the 1970s 'Super Tuscan' wines emerged of supreme quality, commanding very high prices. Although they were initially produced outside the DOC or DOCG zones, most of the regions have since been classified, though some producers still opt to use the simpler and less restrictive IGT labelling.

The famous red wine Chianti is based on the the Sangiovese variety, though is most commonly blended with Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon. The blending of multiple grapes is common, even Bordeaux blends can be found. White wines produced include Vermentino, Vernaccia, Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay.
