ANGELO NEGRO E FIGLI -Piedmont(Monteu Roero)-Sustainable

Since 1670, the Negro family has been cultivating vineyards in the hills of the Roero and realizing the viticultural potential of this relatively undiscovered subregion of Piedmont. In that same year, two of the estate’s most cherished vineyards—Perdaudin and Prachiosso—were first planted. Boasting some of the most desirable vineyard sites in the Roero, Negro in an indisputable legend of the area. In fact, Giovanni Negro, the estate’s proud patriarch, vinified the first dry Roero Arneis on record in 1971. The current winemaker, Angelo Negro, produces wines exclusively from the native grapes of the region, offering a remarkable range of Arneis and Nebbiolo, among other varietals. The family’s sandy, fossil-laden vineyards in the village of Monteu Roero coupled with their meticulous work in the vineyard and the cellar give rise to precise, soulful wines. Today, the estate observes organic practices while managing a staggering 70 hectares under vine.

“The Negro family has had a presence in Roero since the 17th century. The winery utilizes a large estate with plots in Roero (the Ciabot San Giorgio, Prachiosso, and Serra Lupini vineyards in Monteu Roero, and San Vittore in Canale), Langhe (Basarin in Neive for the production of Barbaresco), and Baudana in Serralunga d’Alba (for the production of Barolo). Traditional grapes are grown, leading to a range where remarkable typicity combines with territorial expression, all while maintaining aromatic clarity and precision.”-Gambero Rosso 2024
