Il Controguerra Rosso Passito DOC - Nicò della cantina Illuminati è un vino dolce che rappresenta l'eccellenza della viticoltura abruzzese. Questo passito, ottenuto dall'appassimento delle uve direttamente in vigna, sprigiona aromi complessi e un'intensità organolettica unica.

Alla vista si presenta con un affascinante colore rosso granato intenso, che suggerisce già la sua profondità e maturità. Al naso, offre un bouquet ricco e variegato, con note di frutta secca, fichi, prugne disidratate e una leggera traccia di miele e spezie dolci, testimonianza del lungo processo di appassimento e dell'accurata lavorazione in cantina.

Al palato, il Controguerra Rosso Passito DOC - Nicò è corposo e avvolgente, con una dolcezza ben equilibrata da una fresca acidità e tannini morbidi. I sapori rispecchiano le note olfattive, con ulteriori sfumature di cioccolato fondente e caffè che emergono nel finale lungo e persistente.

Perfetto per essere degustato da solo come vino da meditazione o abbinato a dessert eleganti come torte al cioccolato, pasticcini alle mandorle o formaggi erborinati, questo passito si inserisce perfettamente in occasioni speciali o nelle serate più rilassanti. La bottiglia da 50 cl ne suggella l'eleganza, rendendolo un'ottima scelta anche per regali raffinati.

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.
