The Controguerra Rosso Riserva DOC "Lumen" from the Illuminati winery encapsulates the excellence of the Abruzzo region, a true gem for connoisseurs. This wine stands out for its robust aromatic profile and elegant structure, the result of skilled winemaking and extensive aging.
Produced primarily with Montepulciano grapes and a small percentage of other local varieties, Lumen expresses the typical character of Controguerra wines. On the nose, it opens with intense aromas of ripe red fruits, sweet spices, and a slight touch of vanilla from barrel aging. This olfactory complexity is also found on the palate, where the wine reveals itself to be full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and a persistent finish that leaves a pleasant sensation of warmth and balance.
The currently available vintage has been particularly favorable, imparting the wine with significant aging potential. It's recommended to decant the wine for a few hours before serving to enhance all its nuances.
Ideal gastronomic pairings include hearty dishes such as red meat roasts, game, and aged cheeses. A meditative wine, perfect for concluding the evening.
The Controguerra Rosso Riserva DOC "Lumen" from Illuminati is a prestigious choice for those seeking a wine that authentically and passionately represents the excellence of the Abruzzo terroir.
