The Lumera 2020 by Donnafugata is a vibrant example of rosé wine, originating from the sun-kissed lands of Sicily, specifically under the Sicilia DOC geographical indication. This wine is a tribute to the island’s winemaking tradition, combined with an innovative approach to rosé production.

Characterized by a lively pink hue, Lumera presents a complex bouquet on the nose, featuring fruity notes of strawberries and raspberries, enhanced by subtle floral hints of rose and geranium. Its varietal composition primarily includes Nero d'Avola grapes, a native variety of Sicily, with the addition of other grapes such as Syrah and Pinot Nero, which lend increased complexity and freshness to the blend.

On the palate, Lumera is distinguished by its freshness and balance. The attack is lively and fruity, followed by a pleasant acidity that stimulates the palatability and invites a second sip. Its aromatic persistence is remarkable, leaving a pleasant and refreshing sensation.

This wine pairs beautifully with seafood dishes, such as tuna or salmon tartare, but can also be an excellent companion for lighter vegetable-based dishes or Mediterranean appetizers. It is also perfect as an aperitif, capable of stimulating the palate and preparing it for subsequent dishes.

Reflecting on the philosophy of Donnafugata, a company that places a strong emphasis on sustainability and environmental respect, Lumera is also an expression of a commitment to responsible and conscious viticulture. With every sip of this rosé, one can sense not only the quality of the product but also the passion and dedication of the family behind the creation of these exceptional wines.
