CA’ DEI CONTI Angelin — White Wine, Veneto IGT

APPEARANCE
Angelin displays a deep, luminous straw-yellow colour, reflecting the character of a white wine shaped by late harvesting and extended maturation. Its pronounced colour suggests a more developed personality than that of a youthful, early-drinking white, while retaining appealing brightness. The overall impression anticipates a wine in which fruit maturity, texture and freshness are brought into deliberate balance.

NOSE
The bouquet is intense and layered, revealing distinct notes of honey, ripe peach, dried fruit and almond, the principal aromatic characteristics identified by the estate. The fruit retains a pleasing sense of definition, while the dried-fruit nuances contribute depth and maturity. With gentle aeration, subtle spicy accents may become more apparent, consistent with the wine's partial maturation in oak barriques, without allowing the influence of wood to dominate its identity.

PALATE
The palate opens with intensity, breadth and an enveloping texture, supported by the maturity of the fruit and a clearly defined structure. Acidity brings freshness and precision, while the residual sugar contributes a measured sense of roundness without making the wine overtly sweet. Impressions of ripe peach, honey and almond accompany its progression, creating a harmonious, persistent expression in which richness and vitality remain closely connected.

BALANCE & STRUCTURE
Angelin's structural identity emerges from the interplay between late-ripened grapes, aromatic intensity and the relationship between acidity and residual sweetness. The staggered harvests contribute to the complexity of the blend, while two years of maturation between stainless steel and French and American oak barriques introduce an additional dimension of development. The result is a substantial white wine whose elegance lies in its ability to retain freshness and definition despite the richness of its fruit.

EVOLUTION IN THE GLASS
With gradual aeration, Angelin may reveal a more nuanced aromatic composition. Ripe peach and honey can gain depth, while almond, dried fruit and discreet spicy impressions become increasingly expressive. The wine's texture may also emerge more clearly as the serving temperature rises slightly. Its evolution invites attentive observation in the glass, without necessarily requiring prolonged decanting.

FINISH
The finish is intense, long and harmonious, carrying lingering impressions of ripe fruit, honey and almond. Freshness supports the aromatic persistence, preventing the wine's richness from becoming excessive on the close. A sense of continuity between nose and palate remains, with the interplay of its components taking precedence over an overt display of concentration.

SENSORY IDENTITY
Angelin offers a layered interpretation of the hills of Tregnago, in the Val d’Illasi, Veneto, Italy, through the combination of Garganega, Traminer and resistant PIWI varieties, as identified in the wine's technical documentation. The different harvest periods, extending from late summer to the late ripening of Garganega, contribute to a sensory profile in which mature fruit, freshness and developed nuances coexist. Maturation in stainless steel and oak adds depth to an identity distinct from Veronese white wines defined primarily by youthful freshness.

SERVING TEMPERATURE
8–9°C. (46–48°F.):** a cooler serving temperature emphasises acidity, fruit definition and the wine's overall vitality. This interpretation highlights aromatic precision, preserving a refreshing impression despite Angelin's substantial structure.

9–10°C. (48–50°F.): a slightly warmer temperature may allow the honey, ripe peach, almond and subtle maturation-related nuances to become more expressive. The texture gains prominence, revealing a broader interplay between fruit maturity and acidity.

Within the producer's recommended range, serving temperature becomes a means of sensory interpretation, allowing freshness and aromatic depth to take the lead in turn.

BEYOND* INTERPRETATION
For BEYOND*, Angelin represents one of the most distinctive expressions of Ca’ dei Conti's white-wine heritage. Rather than relying solely on immediate varietal character, it builds its identity through contrasting grape-ripening periods, attentive vinification and an extended maturation that allows the fruit to develop greater complexity.

The meeting of traditional and resistant grape varieties extends beyond viticultural innovation, becoming part of a search for balance between richness, freshness and aromatic depth. On the hills of Tregnago, the Rancan family creates a white wine of individuality, where the rhythm of the harvest and the patience of maturation shape an independent, expressive and carefully measured interpretation of its origins.
