Local importer Angelini was founded in 1986 and is steeped in Italian heritage. The family’s third generation, 200 acre estate farm harvests the grapes used in many of their select wines. An intimate understanding of the production needed for premium quality wine coupled with frequent yearly trips to Italy visiting their long-standing relationships with the local wine culture has carved a niche for Angelini among a very small pool of importer/distributors in the US with thriving vineyards in Europe. Our presenter for the evening is co-founder Julius Angelini.
