AWARDS & ACCOLADES
"A heady nose, but one that shows composure with dried violets, roasted herbs, cherry compote and plum purée. Full body, ripe and juicy tannins and a medium-chewy finish."-93 POINTS
"The fruity and characterful Angheli from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon immediately inspires with its opulent robe. In the complex fruity bouquet there are accentuated perceptions of sour cherries, blackberries and small forest fruits, in the background cocoa, liquorice and cardamom. On the palate, the velvety fullness accompanied by pleasant freshness and the persistent aftertaste inspire"
