Ilico Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

The medium-heavy, loamy soils where the Montepulciano grapes for Ilico grow lie between the Apennines and the Adriatic Sea at an altitude of approximately 260 meters in the province of Terano, Abruzzo. In the first days of October, when the harvest takes place, the grapes are immediately processed. The wine is aged for about 10 months in Slavonian oak barrels and then matures for another 3-4 months in the bottle. Ilico has a deep ruby ​​red color with purple reflections. The nose reveals red fruit aromas and leaves a pleasant impression. On the palate, it is full-bodied, profound, rich, and rounded, yet harmonious, with a finish reminiscent of licorice.

Reviews

Very smooth on the finish

Does not have an excessive amount of tannins and is therefore balanced in taste.

Illuminati

Illuminati from Abruzzo is more than a winery – it's a family story that began in 1890 and continues to this day. Five generations, 130 harvests, one place: the Colline Teramane, nestled between the Apennines and the Adriatic Sea. Here, where the mountain air meets the sea breeze, Montepulciano, Pecorino, and Passerina grapes grow on 110 hectares – all family-owned, all cultivated by the family. From vineyard to bottle, everything happens in one place. You can taste it in the glass: wines that reflect this special piece of land. The family emblem – a crescent moon and a candle – represents what drives Illuminati: bringing light to their own heritage, knowing their roots without getting stuck in the past. Wine as an honest craft, not a glossy, mass-produced product.
