Description

The Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo DOC "Lumeggio di Rosa" from Cantina Illuminati is a rosé wine that captures the essence of the Abruzzo hills through a vibrant and deeply territorial expression. With a brilliant color that ranges from cherry pink to light red hues, this wine stands out for its visual appeal, which heralds the olfactory and gustatory sensations to come.

Primarily produced from Montepulciano d’Abruzzo grapes, the "Lumeggio di Rosa" offers an olfactory bouquet rich in nuances. On the nose, fresh notes of strawberry, cherry, and a light floral hint reminiscent of rose and violet emerge, enriched by delicate hints of aromatic herbs adding complexity.

On the palate, the wine reveals itself to be balanced and smooth, with a pleasant acidity that enhances its freshness and drinkability. Fresh red fruit flavors dominate the palate, accompanied by a light spiciness and a pleasantly persistent finish that invites another sip.

It is a robust wine in its category, with an extraordinary ability to pair with food. It pairs perfectly with light appetizers, fish dishes, and white meats, but it can also be an excellent companion for a summer evening or as an aperitif.

"Lumeggio di Rosa" by Illuminati is a brilliant choice for those seeking a sophisticated rosé that combines tradition with a touch of modernity, ideal for enlivening any meal or special occasion. Overall, an exemplary wine that respects the typicity of its territory, promising a unique and memorable sensory experience.

Winery history

The business traces its origins to the Illuminati family and dates back to 1890, when Nicola Illuminati began winemaking on the border between Marche and Abruzzo. Over the generations ownership and management have remained within the family; in the 1960s Dino Illuminati established the headquarters in Controguerra and expanded the vineyards in the historic area known as Zanna. Today the winery remains a family-run enterprise with multiple generations involved.

Production philosophy

Production focused on quality and a connection to the land: artisanal work in the vineyard and cellar, respect for local agricultural practices, and care of the processes from vine to bottle to express the identity of the Colline Teramane.

Terroir and vineyards

Colline Teramane — a hilly area between the Apennines and the Adriatic Sea, characterized by temperature variations and windiness that promote balanced ripening of the grapes.
