Angol d’Amig (Marco Lanzotti)

Angol d’Amig is a natural wine project based in the Modena area of Emilia-Romagna, Italy, founded by Marco Lanzotti. The name “Angol d’Amig” (in local dialect) suggests a “corner of friends” or a friendly nook — a way of reflecting humility, community, and the idea of wine shared among friends.

Marco’s journey began in the restaurant world and through collaborations with notable Lambrusco producers in the region. In 2013, he embarked on his own path, renting vineyard plots around Vaciglio (Modena) and gradually expanding to additional parcels. His cultivated area is modest—around six hectares in total across a few vineyards in the Modena countryside.

He works with classical regional varieties: Lambrusco di Sorbara, Lambrusco Salamino, Lambrusco Grasparossa, Trebbiano di Modena, Trebbiano di Spagna, and Pignoletto. The soils are often of alluvial origin—sand, silt, some clay—and some parcels are near the Panaro river. (One vineyard, San Damaso, is noted for older vines.)

Marco practices minimal intervention: manual harvests, spontaneous (native) fermentations, limited or no temperature control, no fining or filtration, and very low sulfur or none (especially in the sparkling wines). Some cuvées are fermented and aged in terracotta jars or concrete, embracing traditional or ancient containers to best let the wine speak.

His wines span sparkling reds (Lambrusco in various blends), frizzante whites, rosés, and more experimental bottlings. Examples include Scaramùsc (a darker Lambrusco blend), Spoma? (rosato frizzante), Pulonia (white frizzante blend of Pignoletto and Trebbiano), and Qui e Ora (an ancestral-style sparkling white).
