The Controguerra Rosso Riserva DOC Lumen Magnum from the Illuminati winery is a red wine that embodies the winemaking spirit and passion of the Abruzzo region. Produced with selected grapes of Montepulciano and Cabernet Sauvignon, this reserve is a true gem for wine enthusiasts who appreciate complexity and richness of flavors.
The winemaking method follows a rigorous selection of grapes, which are handpicked and subjected to fermentation in large stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. This is followed by the crucial maturation phase, which takes place in oak barrels for a period of no less than 18 months, with additional refinement in the bottle that perfects the bouquet and the wine's organoleptic characteristics.
Visually, Lumen presents a deep ruby red color that turns to garnet with aging. On the nose, seductive notes of ripe red fruits, sweet spices, and a slight hint of tobacco and leather emerge, showcasing a perfect integration between fruit and wood. On the palate, the wine reveals itself as structured and well-balanced, with mature tannins accompanying a pleasant aromatic persistence and a freshness that invites another sip.
Served at a temperature of 18-20°C, it pairs wonderfully with red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses. The Magnum format presentation makes it perfect also as a collector’s item or to be shared on special occasions.
The Controguerra Rosso Riserva DOC Lumen from Illuminati represents an excellent choice for those wishing to explore the richness of Abruzzese wines, with a particular focus on tradition and enological excellence.
