Awards

Giulio Locatelli

We dedicated our most important 4 wines to Giulio Locatelli who in the 1968 bought Tenuta di Angoris and immediately started to manage it with the entrepreneurial and visionary spirit that has always distinguished him.

These prestigeous wines talk about him: the elegance of Spìule Chardonnay of the Colli Orientali, the harmony of the Langor of the Collio, the character of Ravòst Merlot and the boldness of Pignolo.

TOMAHAWK STEAK

Let steak stand at room temperature 30 minutes to an hour before cooking. Preheat grill to medium-high (400°F to 450°F). Sprinkle steak evenly on both sides with salt and pepper. Lightly coat grill grates with oil or grilling spray.

Place steak on hot grates, and grill, undisturbed, until it releases easily from the grates, about 4 minutes. Flip, and repeat on the other side. Continue grilling, turning occasionally, until a thermometer inserted into thickest portion of steak registers 125°F, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board; let rest 15 minutes. Run a knife along the inside edge of the bone to remove the steak from bone in 1 piece; slice against the grain.
