Bright, Lively, and Rooted in Roman Soil
Named after a legendary Latin king, Illirio is a crisp, aromatic white wine made from a blend of Bellone, Greco and Malvasia del Lazio, three ancient grapes that have flourished for centuries in the volcanic hills of Cori. The result? A light yet expressive white that’s full of sunshine and Mediterranean charm.
Cincinnato brings this historic blend into the modern age with clarity and freshness. Whether it’s for casual dinners, weekend lunches, or just a moment of calm, Illirio is a joyful Italian white that feels right at home in Ireland’s wine glasses.
Why we love it:
Illirio is everything a white wine should be: fresh, aromatic, and easy to love. It’s a taste of Lazio’s winemaking roots, made approachable and lively — perfect for Irish drinkers who enjoy something off the beaten path but full of personality.
