A young man devoted to the land and its grapes, Marco Lanzotti began his journey working alongside some of Emilia’s well-known wine producers, including Vittorio Graziano, Ca’ de Noci and Cinque Campi. In 2013, he started Angol d’Amig, bringing together a natural approach in the vineyard with a deep understanding of traditional second fermentation in bottle.
Today, six hectares of vineyards are spread across the countryside southeast of Modena. Marco grows the varieties typical of the area: Lambrusco di Sorbara, Lambrusco Salamino, Lambrusco Grasparossa, Trebbiano di Modena, Trebbiano di Spagna and Pignoletto. The vines are rooted in soils of alluvial origin, composed mainly of sand and silt with a small amount of clay.
The oldest vines, more than 30 years old, are located in San Damaso, near the Panaro River, a place whose beauty captivates us every time. This unique vineyard is part of the farm of Alberto Grosoli, a farmer who has tended the land for decades according to the principles of permaculture. The farm is home to hundreds of varieties of fruit, vegetables and herbs, as well as a couple of bold Bianca Modenese cows.
More recently, Marco has added a beautiful new plot on the slopes of Castelvetro, planted with the local Grasparossa, expanding his work into another of the most distinctive areas of the Modena hills.
From these vineyards, he produces some of the most sophisticated yet approachable sparkling wines in the region, combining freshness, depth and a distinctive personality.
