Winemaking & Ageing

The grapes are harvested from hillside vineyards benefiting from strong Mediterranean sunshine and cooling coastal influences. After gentle pressing and short skin contact to achieve its delicate colour, fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures to preserve freshness and aromatics.


Lumare is aged briefly in stainless steel to maintain purity of fruit and vibrancy, with no oak influence. The focus is on clarity, balance and immediacy rather than heaviness or sweetness.

Colour

Delicate salmon-pink with soft coral highlights.

Aromas & Flavour

On the nose, Lumare offers clean aromas of red berries, light floral notes and subtle Mediterranean freshness. The palate is dry, smooth and well-balanced, combining gentle red fruit from Gaglioppo with the lift and structure provided by Cabernet Sauvignon. Fresh acidity keeps the wine lively, while the finish is clean, precise and easy-going.

Food Pairing

This is a genuinely versatile rosé that performs well at the table:

  • Seafood and shellfish

  • Grilled fish

  • White meats

  • Light pasta dishes

  • Mediterranean and vegetable-led cuisine

It also works well as an aperitivo when served well chilled, particularly in warmer months or alongside small plates.

Why Buy This Wine

Lumare Rosato IGT Calabria is a reliable, characterful alternative to generic rosé styles. It offers more flavour and structure than many pale rosés, authentic southern Italian character, and a respected family producer behind it. A practical, confident choice for both casual drinking and food-led occasions.
