Lumen is one of Dino Illuminati's best wines. The 2010 Controguerra Riserva Lumen is laced with pretty tones of dark fruit, dried blackberry, grilled spice and tobacco. The tobacco signature is very strong indeed. The wine boasts dark, velvety concentration with enormous richness and plushness. The blend is 70% Montepulciano and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in oak barrique for 18 months. The wine should evolve nicely over the next five to ten years.
