Controguerra Bianco DOC - Passerina - Illuminati 2023

The Controguerra Bianco DOC, produced by Illuminati winery, hails from the splendid region of Abruzzo, an area renowned for its particularly favorable terrain for viticulture. This wine elegantly expresses the essence of the Passerina grape, a little-known but highly interesting native variety that imparts a distinctive and lively character to the wine.

The Passerina used for the Controguerra Bianco is cultivated using methods that respect both tradition and the environment, thereby ensuring not only the quality but also the integrity of the product. On the nose, the wine surprises with its delicate aromas of white-fleshed fruits, such as pear and apple, accompanied by subtle floral notes and a light mineral touch reminiscent of fresh stone.

On the palate, the Controguerra Bianco is fresh and lively. Its well-balanced acidity counterpoints the moderate alcohol structure, making it pleasantly drinkable and suitable for pairing with a wide variety of dishes. The wine exhibits beautiful aromatic persistence, with a finish that returns to tones of freshness and clean taste.

Ideal as an aperitif, this wine pairs wonderfully with light appetizers, fish or seafood dishes, and fresh cheeses. An excellent representative of Abruzzo's viticulture, the Controguerra Bianco DOC by Illuminati is a stylish choice for those seeking a white wine that combines tradition and enjoyment.

This wine is not only a testament to the biodiversity of the Italian grape variety but also to Illuminati's commitment to producing high-quality wines that tell the story of the terroir from which they come. A true gem for lovers of distinctive and characterful white wines.
