Wine and poetry: the history of the name Angheli On the label of Angheli, Donnafugata red, we find a quote from the epic poem "Orlando furioso": "Ladies, knights, arms, loves...".
Angheli takes its name from Angelica, the extremely beautiful and unattainable heroine of the poem, with whom the greatest knights fall hopelessly in love.

A woman who inspired the name for this bold and sensual wine.

The character of Angheli, Sicilian red A red wine whose personality is seen right from its striking color. Love at first sight!

A perfect blend of Merlot and Nero d'Avola, its bouquet is broad, with very evident hints of fruit.
Its spicy notes evoke sumptuous tables piled with game and delicacies; its mellowness is intriguing, upheld by pleasing freshness.

Angheli is an elegant, persistent red that remains in the mind, just like a woman with character.

The story behind the Angheli label Angheli is a red wine with character, whose icon is Angelica.
As in Orlando Furioso, the artist depicts her in the depths of a forest, fleeing from her swains; beautiful and intrepid, her tresses tossed by the wind.

Her femininity is striking: precious raiment enwraps her body and pearls her neck; she is bare-armed and small of hand. Gentle shapes and enveloping colors, ethereal lines like those on ancient Caltagirone pottery, mellowed as the tannins of this wine.

It's like enjoying a performance of Orlando Furioso by traditional Sicilian marionettes.
An art form today included in UNESCO's World Folklore Heritage.
