Profile & Story

Illuminati has farmed the border of Abruzzo and Marche since 1890; Dino Illuminati established the winery's Controguerra headquarters in the 1960s and expanded into the historic Zanna vineyards. RipaRosso, their entry Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC, comes from clay-leaning vineyards in Controguerra, Corropoli and Torano Nuovo and ages six months in Slavonian oak botti after malolactic fermentation.

Tasting Notes

Round, enveloping and harmonious, with mature red-fruit character reflecting the clay soils, full and persistent on the palate.
