The Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC "Lumeggio di Rosso" from the Illuminati winery represents an excellent example of how the Abruzzo terroir can express itself through this beloved Italian grape variety. This wine stands out for its perfect balance between tradition and innovation, an aspect that the Illuminati winery meticulously cares for.

With an intense ruby red color with violet reflections, "Lumeggio di Rosso" offers a rich and complex bouquet on the nose, where notes of ripe red fruits such as blackberry and currant stand out, accompanied by hints of spices and a slight note of vanilla, deriving from the right balance in its barrel aging.

On the palate, the structure of this Montepulciano is robust yet harmonious, with a well-integrated tannic texture that makes it velvety and persistent. The acidity is well balanced and helps keep the wine fresh and dynamic, with a long and pleasantly fruity finish.

The ideal pairing includes dishes from traditional Abruzzo cuisine, such as red meat roasts, lamb, and hearty pasta dishes with meat sauces. It is also an ideal companion for an evening of aged cheeses and cold cuts.

This wine not only tells the story of a rich and generous terroir but also celebrates the winemaking art of a winery that has managed to evolve while staying true to its roots. "Lumeggio di Rosso" is an excellent choice for those seeking a wine capable of offering a deep and memorable tasting experience.
