Anđelini Winery

In 1997, Ranko Anđelini launched a modern wine production, building on the family’s centuries-old winemaking tradition. His grandfather, Ciril Velan, built a house and a family cellar in 1924 on Velanov Brijeg near Pazin, where wine was produced for personal use and for sale. Today, they cultivate 70,000 vines of various varieties, with a special focus on Malvasia, Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Teran. They continually upgrade their production technology to make it more sustainable and environmentally friendly. The fifteen hectares of Anđelini vineyards are located within a four-kilometer radius, across three main locations: Velanov Brijeg, Lindarski Križ, and the surroundings of Gračišće. The vineyards range in elevation from 450 to 475 meters above sea level.
The Anđelini family has won two gold and one bronze Decanter medals. In addition to their wine, they are also known for beekeeping and the production of honey and other bee products.
