• Like his dad and grandad before him, Paolo Sacchetto has been making divine fizz since he grew out of short trousers. His family business has siblings and cousins in every nook of the vineyard and winery. Even his 80-something dad still turns up for work every day. You can’t buy that experience.

• Paolo doesn’t just make wine. He pours his heart and soul into it. It’s his life, his passion. And he loves getting feedback from wine drinkers, which he uses to improve every vintage. So when he heard about Naked’s Angels, it was a match made in heaven.

• A genius with bubbles, not for nothing is he known as ‘The King of Prosecco’. He makes a range of classic Italian whites including, for our money, some of the creamiest fizz on the planet.

• There are legends, Naked legends, and then there’s Christian Patat. A man who turns everything he touches into liquid gold.
• In his day job as a consultant oenologist, Christian travels all over Italy helping lesser mortals make their wines taste amazing. That means he knows where all the best grapes hide out, and is in the box seat to snaffle them before anyone else can get their cheque book out.
• Having learnt his thang in Burgundy, Priorat and all over Italy, Christian knows exactly how to craft sensational wines, the proof of the pudding in his blockbuster Appassimento, nicknamed the ‘Naked Godfather of Big Reds’. It’s one of our most popular wines of all time and sells out every year!

• For over twenty years, Dominic has been a flying winemaker producing wines all over the world. 
• He's done working with big wine corporations and wants the freedom to highlight parcels of grapes that typify the region and bring out the best in quality and elegance.
• Dominic makes top notch wines at remarkably low prices.

• When iconic winemaker Stefano di Blasi first joined Naked in 2014, we couldn’t believe our luck. He was the genius behind Solaia and Tignanello, two of Italy’s most famous (and expensive) reds at over £100 a pop.
• Stefano’s dream is to make the wines he wants to and, thanks to Angel funding, he is doing just that! Super-premium Tuscan treats have been winging their way into Angel’s baskets for years now, and at a fraction of the price they would be elsewhere!
• Our King of Tuscany has a real talent for bringing elegance into his wines that is appreciated by critics all around the world and, with nearly 90K ratings, it seems Angels are a big fan too..!

• Meet Gianfranco and Serena Cordero...a seriously talented father-daughter combo taking the Italian region of Piedmont by storm.
• They started producing their own wine in 2006 when they took on Serena's grandfather Teresio's vineyard so they could keep on working in his memory, and let their land be known all over the world.
• Year on year this dynamic duo bring Angels some seriously plush Barolo, Barbaresco and Barbera red wines, as well as their 90%+ rated Gavi and Gavi di Gavi. 

• You've been crying out for a superstar Amarone winemaker for ages. So we set your trusty Archangels on the case...
• Antonio was discovered by a group of AAs on a trip to VinItaly. His refined and elegant creations stood head-and-shoulders above the rest. 
• Boy are we glad they found him. Antonio has worked his magic on 2 spectacular Amarones - and he can't wait for you to taste them. 

• When we asked Angels what was on their shopping list for 2021, the response was a resounding 'more Italian reds please'! Your request for something rich, flavourful and deluxe caught the attention of Winemaker of the year and all round hero, Stefano di Blasi, who knew just the man for the job.
• That man? Mirko Sella, head winemaker at San Cassiano, a family owned winery in Italy's Valpolicella region. His whole winemaking life has been dedicated to making authentic wines for San Cassiano - with 20 harvests under his belt, this definitely isn't his first rodeo.
• This is super small production, boutique winemaking in all its glory. They are currently a 5 person strong team that includes Mirko, his wife Frederica, and his father Gino - and the real kicker? They do everything by hand. The results do not dissapoint, Mirko's reds are intensly flavoursome and easy-drinking, with all the tannic complexity and general Oomf! you could ask for.

• Daniele comes from a long line of grape growers so it was only natural that he jumped at the chance to turn his passion into his career. 
• He’s done pretty much every job possible in the winery and puts his years of experience into making some cracking wines.  
• Daniele works with small growers, and hand picks only the very best grapes to make a delicious Pignoletto for you Angels.

• Camilla and Silvana are the mother-daughter winemaking team, who since 2015, have taken Piedmont by storm with their deliciously light and fruity white wines. They share the same vision for a fully female-run winery, with a mission to preserve ancient winemaking traditions, their heritage and the environment. Their winemaking philosophy starts in the vineyards, where they nurture the grapes from vine to bottle. 
• Cortese is the grape variety used to produce Gavi di Gavi, and grown in a tiny area of Piedmont. Camilla and Silvana champion the slightly-off-the-beaten-track region - its soothing gentle sea breezes and salty air influences the wine's crisp and refreshing character.
• Camilla and Silvana are winemakers with vision. Thanks to support from their  Angels, the pair have been able to dream bigger than ever before. They not only strive to craft the most expressive Gavi di Gavi but also to boost the profile of the region, often referred to as the 'Chablis of Italy'. 

• Mario and Simona are born winemakers - the TLC they put into just one bottle is enough to leave most mere mortals needing a good lie down. They are a father and daughter duo who thrive under the preassure of a busy harvest - in fact the whole family rolls up their sleeves to support them, with Simona's two younger sisters and Mario's wife on hand to help run the winery itself. 
• With winemaking roots harking back four generations, their drive  has been handed down the years and centres around their love for Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. It's one very small grape that represents a whole lot more for Mario, Simona and their family winery.
• 'The path is never easy. There are many difficulties to face and sometimes the strength is lacking, but the love for this job is greater. Our greatest joys are our customers and seeing their faces smile and appreciate our wines is our greatest achievement.'

Mario and Simona, Winemakers
