A small Italian winery making the biggest waves
- Just like us, Nicola knows that small wineries are the jewel in the crown of the wine world. Having worked as an independent winemaker since 1992, he can attest that the mixture of precision, creativity, and hard work required from the little guy pays off in extra delicious wines that can't be paralleled.
- For Nicola, the aim of the game is to make wines that ring true to their landscape and region. With Angels behind him, he hopes to expand the reach of quality and experience only small wineries can provide.
- Precision is everything for Nicola, and he has his processes down to a science. Every sip has pure Italian style and charisma as a result - white wines with clean, crisp definition and reds that are smoother than smooth.

Nicola Pittini's Story
Nicola's Story
Graduated in agricultural sciences in 1990 in my hometown Udine. After I followed several courses in winemaking in France and Italy. While I was studying at university, I started to collaborate with a society that had bottling services and winemaking facilities for small cellars in my region (friuli) and in Italy too. I was employed as lab technician at the beginning then I move to winemaking consultancy for the society clients.
I've been involved in winemaking officially from 1992, first for other cellars and then, with my wife, in 2004 I started to make wine for our cellar Borgo delle oche. Nnw Iam the winmaker for my cellar and I still continue to collaborate with others in Italy.
What is it about your job that you love?
Because It's an amazing mixture of precision, scientific knowledge and crazy imagination and creativity, you must love this job because it's really enveloping.
What makes your wines special?
I think that in the world there are a huge amount of good wines today, to emerge you have to fill them with a strong personality and that is what I try to research.
Are there any reasons why our customers' money can help you?
THere are a lot of reasons: First is that I can continue to search new stimulus to increase quality in vineyard and wine, then Angels can help to continue the existence of us small winemakers and small craft cellars that are the great value of the wine world.
