Winemaker Notes

A native grape that takes its name because it pops (“schioppetta”) with spiciness in your mouth. Ruby red with purple. Blackberry, raspberry, and blueberry on the nose with slight pepper and licorice. Medium-bodied, with prominent but fine-grained tannins; elegant with plenty of acidity and spice.

Winery Notes

The estates history dates back to 1648 when the Roman Empire awarded 600 hectares to the Locatelli family. Nearly 400 years later and Marta Locatelli has taken the reigns, continuing the tradition of sustainable farming, including 75 hectares of grape vines including some of the rarest varieties in Italy.

The grapes for the Angoris line of wines are harvested by hand in cru vineyards located on the steep slopes. On these hills the wines are typically bold with intense fragrances, spicy notes, and an enchanting complexity.
