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.

Customer Review AI Summary
Illuminati Pecorino Controguerra is praised for its vibrant citrus and pear notes, with a refreshing and crisp profile. While some appreciate its smooth, medium body and harmonious flavors of lychee, grapefruit, and green apple, others find the dry, minerally character and bitter almond finish less appealing. Overall, it offers a lively, enjoyable experience, though its unique profile may not suit everyone.
