More about this product
Tenuta di Angoris
Tenuta di Angoris is a family winery whose history has always been associated with the Locatelli family. It was founded in 1648 by Baron Locatelo Locatelli, and since 1968 has been ruled by the family of Giulio Locatelli. The mansion marks a rise in wine production, which is admired by connoisseurs of terroirs. With a constant attitude towards the environment, the family produces wine from three regions - Collio, Friuli Colli Orientali and Friuli Isonzo. Villa Locatelli's wine line comes from the vineyards in the plain, in the Friuli Isonzo area, while from the hilly terraces of the Collio and Friuli Colli Orientali areas come the grapes for the Angoris wine line. Devoted to the care of wine production, the family says that in their cellar the wine magically finds the form that their philosophy wants to give.

Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Friuli - Venezia Giulia, a region in northeastern Italy, borders Austria to the north, Slovenia to the east, the Adriatic Sea to the south, and the Veneto region to the west. It has an area of 3,030 square miles (7,847 square kilometers), covering the provinces of Udine, Pordenone, Gorizia, and Trieste. To the north, the dense wall of the Carnic Alps, broken only by the Monte Croce (Plöcken) pass and the low saddle of Tarvisio, forms an impressive backdrop to the valley of the Tagliamento River, the heart of Friuli. The southern part of the region is a low coastal plain, part of which is occupied by the shallow lagoons of Grado and Caorle. To the southeast, this part of the former Free Territory of Trieste, which is now an integral part of Italy, extends like a narrow corridor between the limestone plateau of Carso (Kras) and the Adriatic Sea, all the way to the city of Trieste. The region varies in terrain from rocky uplands and foothills in the north to dry or marshy lowlands in the south. The precipitation in the north - the highest in Italy - favors the development of natural pastures for livestock, and the ham and dairy products in Friuli are well-known. Now, as Italian winemakers south and west of Friuli have also mastered the art of making fresh, fruity white wines, particularly those from Alto Adige, their colleagues in Collio and Colli Orientali must try to justify their price premium, usually, but not necessarily, with greater use of small oak barrels. The standard of winemaking here is generally very high and yields are relatively low, even if the price for this is that the wines can have remarkably similar tastes.

Merlot
Southwest of France is Merlot’s birthplace - the regions of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Merlot is nowadays widely planted across the world much like Cabernet Sauvignon because it is an early maturing grape variety and because of its ability to ripen fully even in slightly cooler climates. Smooth, velvety, soft and rounded - an “easy drinking" wine with tender tannic structure - these are the common descriptions of Merlot wines.
