Ilauri was founded in 2001 by the Di Tonno family, in a magnificent, unspoiled part of the Abruzzi. Our daily objective lies in constantly seeking the best interaction between the varietal in our vineyards, the sun-exposition, the training method, and the desired yield, with the sole desire to best express our unique terroir.

Ilauri vineyards at the turn of the century have expanded to 32 hectares in production in the municipality of Loreto Aprutino. In addition to the native Montepulciano d’Abruzzo and Trebbiano d’Abruzzo, other varietals have been planted. Pecorino, for example was planted in 2004 as part of an estate experiment to study the ability of other varieties to adapt and express themselves.

The nose is direct, harmonious and of great olfactory finesse. Rich blackcurrant and blackberry alternate gracefully with violet and bell pepper and a discreet hint of toast. The mouth is juicy and fruity, yet balanced, and offers a nice acidulous frame, precision, sweetness and a small elegance. The wine ages in 34 hl French barrels for 6 months. Two months of bottle aging follow. Ideal with barbecued meats and traditional Italian specialties such as lasagna.
