Illuminati Ilico is a premium Italian wine produced by Illuminati winery, located in the Abruzzo region. The wine is made from Montepulciano grapes grown in the hilly vineyards of Controguerra.

The resulting wine is full-bodied, with a deep ruby color and intense aromas of dark fruit, spices, and vanilla. The palate is rich and velvety, with a long and satisfying finish.
