Although Ilo Wines is a fresh name on the market, with Kai Autio at its helm, it already feels like an old, trusted friend—one whose presence is both familiar and warmly anticipated.

Relationship with Wine

 

Steady, reliable and refreshingly bold, they bring wines with deep roots and true regional character.For this company, origin and tradition are paramount. True representation of the region matters more than flavor alone, with a strong focus on quality over innovation.

They have a partnership-based approach, valuing face-to-face interactions and local enjoyment. Context plays a crucial role in creating lasting memories with wine.

Highlighting Unsung Heroes

 

​Three regions that deserve attention right now are:

• Savoie

• Aosta

• Alto Adige

These regions are filled with unsung heroes, offering unique and underappreciated wines.

Hidden Gems 

​

The standout wine for the upcoming season is Domaine du Coteau de Torméry by Guillaume Quenard (Savoie), known for its extremely low availability and exceptional quality.

Finding a hidden gem in wine and revealing the nuances of lesser-known regions is an incredibly rewarding journey that fuels the company’s passion for discovery. More gems to come…
