The IGP Colli Aprutini Bianco - San Biagio 18 from the Illuminati winery is a refined example of white wine that embodies the excellence of Abruzzo viticulture. Made from selected grapes from the Aprutini hills, this label stands out for its freshness and harmonious taste that reflects the unique terroir of this region.

The wine offers a light straw yellow color, with shades tending towards green. On the nose, delicate yet intense aromas of fresh fruit such as green apple and melon are present, complemented by floral notes and a slight hint of aromatic herbs. The olfactory impact is pleasantly complex, inviting a sip.

On the palate, the IGP Colli Aprutini Bianco is vigorous and well-balanced. Its acidity is lively but not intrusive, perfectly balanced by its structure and softness. The aromatic persistence is remarkable, leaving a pleasantly fresh and clean sensation.

This wine is ideal as an aperitif or paired with light dishes such as grilled fish, seafood, or summer salads. The recommended serving temperature is between 8-10°C to enhance all its qualities.

Produced with dedication by the Illuminati family, known for their commitment to quality and innovation, the IGP Colli Aprutini Bianco - San Biagio 18 is a testament to the excellence of Italian winemaking, capable of offering an authentic and memorable sensory experience to white wine enthusiasts.

Winery history

The business traces its origins to the Illuminati family and dates back to 1890, when Nicola Illuminati began winemaking on the border between Marche and Abruzzo. Over the generations ownership and management have remained within the family; in the 1960s Dino Illuminati established the headquarters in Controguerra and expanded the vineyards in the historic area known as Zanna. Today the winery remains a family-run enterprise with multiple generations involved.

Production philosophy

Production focused on quality and a connection to the land: artisanal work in the vineyard and cellar, respect for local agricultural practices, and care of the processes from vine to bottle to express the identity of the Colline Teramane.

Terroir and vineyards

Colline Teramane — a hilly area between the Apennines and the Adriatic Sea, characterized by temperature variations and windiness that promote balanced ripening of the grapes.
