Pieluni is rich and opulent due to a slightly late harvest. Reminiscent of blackberries, plums, raspberries on the nose with hints of vanilla, tobacco, licorice; greatly structured in its aromas. With a perfect balance on the palate between mellowness and tannins showing a clean flavor full of harmony. It is an elegantly structured wine, very rich, round, fleshy, and of great volume on the palate.

The wine pairs well with red meats, grilled lamb, pork, and aged cheeses.

The name of this wine is dedicated to Dino's three grandchildren - the third generation of Illuminati: (initials of the 3 names: Pierpaolo, Ludovica, Nicola). This wine is produced in minimal quantities and only in the best years.
Location of vineyards: Controguerra, Corropoli (Teramo)

Once malolactic fermentation is complete, the wine is transferred French oak barriques where it remains for 24 months. It then rests another 14 to 15 months in bottle.
