I purchased a wine in New Orleans and don't have a clue what it is or where to find a rating for it. On the label (which is red)it says LaVite Luc.ente 1996. Can anyone help?

Dude, open it, taste it, tell yourself if you liked it. WHAT possible diffference could it make what the "rating" is if you've already bought it?

Not sure if this is your wine, but here goes. The Frescobaldi family of Tuscany and the Robert Mondavi family of California have a venture and produce a wine called Lucente. There is a '96 vintage and if this is the wine you bought, it was rated very good to excellent in the Gambero Rosso guide to Italian wines. It's a sangiovese and merlot blend. Hope this helps.
