Lucente 2001 La Vite Sangiovese (Toscana)
- $26
Earthy and ripe, with lovely black fruit mixing with cedary wood on the nose. Plum, blackberry and chocolate flavors make for a well-known and likable flavor profile, while the toasty finish deals touches of balsamic vinegar and licorice. Unassailable as a total package.

Lucente 1998 Sangiovese (Toscana)
- $28
Interesting and complex, combines sweet raspberry and black cherry flavors with earthy notes. Soft tannins make it instantly accessible, while crisp acidity provides balance. Turns simple in the middle palate, but is saved by a rich finish. A blend of 85% Sangiovese and 15% Merlot.

Lucente 1999 Sangiovese (Toscana)
- $28
Dusty and dry, this wine uses a higher percentage of Sangiovese than Luce and the result is a tougher, more austere wine that gets much of its character from dried spice and toast. Understated and restrained, you can almost taste the influence of co-creator Tim Mondavi.
