The 2021 Lucente Marchesi di Frescobaldi is a Supertuscan blend, primarily Merlot and Sangiovese, from the Luce della Vite estate. It is the second wine of the estate, sourced from different plots and younger vines than the flagship bottling. The 2021 vintage was a highly regarded year in Tuscany, resulting in a wine with excellent balance and structure. This expression offers a profile of ripe black cherry and plum, with a subtle spiciness and a well-integrated oak character and a smooth, approachable tannic structure.
