At Illica, we’re incredibly fortunate to live in an extraordinary, en- chanting and quiet valley that we feel a duty to preserve
and enhance. We breathe unpolluted air, walk on light lands born from ancient tropi- cal seas, listen to the sweet lament of
fossil shells breaking under foot, scale steep slopes to grow our vines, and enjoy soothing evening bree- zes that blow in from the sea and mountains.
High up, where our oldest vines grow, a perfect landscape awaits us, overlooking woods, gullies, vineyards, castles, medieval villages, horses and a few isolated houses.
Cold winters, temperate summers, clear skies, cool breezes, and tem- peratures that drop significantly overnight bless us with a unique mi- cro-climate that allows us to respect nature’s equilibrium. We’ve never had a reason to use chemicals in our valley.
For Illica, organic far- ming is a family tradition, not a trend.
The organic history of Illica’s wines began with my grandfather, a legendary custodian of the art of producing cured meats. The tradition was passed down to my father, a loyal guardian of order, who was cap- tivated by his love for vines, which he passed onto me, fostering a pas- sion for wines that represent an authentic expression of a land free from contamination and pollution.
My wines have been certified as organic for almost twenty years, back when it was a relatively new word. In the Illica family, organic is our norm, our history, our tradi- tion. It's what we've always known.At Illica, we’re incredibly fortunate to live in an extraordinary, en- chanting and quiet valley that we feel a duty to preserve
