Illuminati was established in 1890 by Nico Illuminati, who handed on his passion for winemaking to his grandson, Dino Illuminati, himself now a grandfather to yet another Nico. Not short of a little Latin vitality, Dinoโs enthusiasm for his wines bubbles over like some frothy prosecco. Acknowledged as one of Italyโs finest vinous craftsmen, Dinoโs drive has taken Illuminati to great heights, and with 150 acres of the finest terrain in the whole region now in his Montepulciano-stained hands, heโll soon be needing a new medal cupboard for his numerous accolades, amongst them Italian Winemaker of the Year.
