Paolo Angelini

Società Agricola Angelini Paolo is a family winery in Ozzano Monferrato, in the Monferrato Casalese hills of the Alessandria province, now run by its fourth generation. About 40 hectares of vines are spread over four plots in the same commune: Cascina Cairo, where the cellar stands, Cascina Ameli, the Bricco Robiano and Onorato area, and the land around the estate shop. Soils range from clay with limestone layers to tuff. Barbera and Grignolino are the classic wines here, alongside Viognier, Syrah, Albarossa and Chardonnay, plus a sparkling wine and a passito. The range is split into a Classic line made in steel and a Selection line that sees wood. The Casalese hills are marine sediments, and the limestone in them is what the estate credits for the lean Barbera and spicy Grignolino.
