1 x Illuminati - Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva 'Zanna' 2017 ~ Abruzzo, Italy

The 2017 wine earned 91/100 from James Suckling; previous vintages of this wine have also received recognition from Vinous, Wine & Spirits and international wine competitions.

Enjoy the wine with grilled red meat, game, truffle dishes or aged cheeses such as Gorgonzola.

The Illuminati family has cultivated vines in Abruzzo for generations. Zanna comes from old vines in the Colline Teramane, where natural ventilation and hillside soils help shape the wine’s concentration and distinctive regional character.

The Montresor family moved from France to Verona in the 16th century and began producing wine under the family name in the 19th century. Traditional appassimento methods, hand harvesting and oak maturation give this Amarone its depth and luxurious character.
