The Cantine Angelinetta agricultural winery, located in Domaso on Lake Como, was founded in 2008 with the aim of transforming a family wine-making tradition passed down through generations into a small professional winery.
I began my first winemaking experiences while studying Building Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Milan. At the time, whenever I mentioned my intention to become a winegrower after graduating, people often thought I was “crazy”!
A turning point came in 2008, when I met Professor Leo Miglio, son of Professor Gianfranco Miglio, a distinguished political scientist and pioneer of professional winemaking in the Lake Como area. For years, Leo Miglio had continued his family’s winemaking tradition while promoting and supporting initiatives to enhance local viticulture, including the recent recognition of the IGT “Terre Lariane” designation.
Following our meeting, Professor Miglio entrusted me with the management of his vineyards, where the indigenous Verdese grape variety stands out.
