Wine for the Weekend

La Vite Lucente, Tuscany, Italy 2012
$34.95 Vintages 747030
A popular holiday favourite this rich and plush Super Tuscan has lots of New World approachability with some Old World restraint. Cured meat, black pepper spice, leather,  and red cherry aromas follow through to the dense and powerful palate which shows big, grippy tannin, elevated acid and a lengthy finish. A perfect holiday gift or for drinking with festive dinners of braised lamb shank, short ribs or meat ragu.
