Bright, Lively, and Rooted in Roman Soil.
Cincinnato “Illirio” Cori Bianco is a white wine that captures the essence of Lazio’s sun-drenched Cori hills. Crafted from a harmonious blend of Bellone, Greco, and Malvasia del Lazio, it reflects the region’s volcanic soils and the gentle Mediterranean breeze, producing a wine of elegance, freshness, and subtle complexity.
Pale straw with glints of gold, it opens with bright aromas of white flowers, citrus zest, and green apple, intertwined with hints of Mediterranean herbs and a delicate mineral note. On the palate, it is crisp yet layered, with juicy orchard fruit, a whisper of almond, and a lingering, refreshing finish. The interplay of the three native grapes gives it structure, aromatic depth, and a refined balance, making it versatile for both sipping and pairing with light seafood, grilled vegetables, or delicate pasta dishes.
Cincinnato “Illirio” embodies both place and tradition. Each sip evokes the rolling hills of Cori, the warm sunlight on the vineyards, and the meticulous care of the winemakers who nurture these native grapes. For wine lovers in Ireland, it is a refined white that brings a touch of Lazio’s character and elegance to the table.
Why we love it:
We love Illirio Cori Bianco for its bright, expressive character and its sense of place. The combination of Bellone, Greco, and Malvasia del Lazio creates a white wine with freshness, aromatic complexity, and subtle minerality — a true reflection of Lazio’s volcanic terroir.
