Wine Description:
Illuminati Pecorino Controguerra is a premium white wine produced by the Illuminati winery in the Controguerra appellation of Italy. The vineyards are situated on the slopes of the Abruzzo region, where the grapes flourish in the warm Mediterranean climate and mineral-rich soils. The winemaking process involves a meticulous selection of the Pecorino grapes, followed by a gentle pressing and fermentation in stainless steel tanks. A small portion undergoes fermentation in barrique to release a spicier character. The resulting wine is crisp and refreshing, with aromas of citrus and tropical fruits, and a subtle minerality on the palate. This wine pairs perfectly with seafood dishes, salads, and light appetizers.
