Additional details

SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS
The new vineyard was built using the espalier system with approximately 5,200 vines per hectare, while the old vineyard was trained using the Abruzzo pergola system with approximately 1,100 vines per hectare.

HARVEST AND VINIFICATION PERIOD
The grapes for Lumen, after careful and meticulous selection, are among the last to be harvested (early October for the Cabernet Sauvignon and mid-October for the Montepulciano). The grapes are destemmed, softly pressed, and vinified separately in stainless steel vats, fermenting at a temperature of 28-30°C for approximately 15 days. Once malolactic fermentation is complete, the resulting wines are blended and placed in 225-liter barriques made from various oak varieties, where they remain for approximately 18 months, after which they are bottled. The wine then undergoes bottle aging for 24 months in our cellars before being released.

Recommended pairings

Excellent paired with red meat dishes such as grilled lamb. It also pairs well with aged cheeses.

Serving temperature

Serve in a Bordeaux glass at 18/20°C
