Roero – A Special Terroir

Piedmont literally means “at the foot of the mountains”. The landscape is characterised by gentle hills, vineyards and picturesque villages. Roero lies on the left bank of the Tanaro and differs from the famous Barolo area. Sandy soils define the terroir, leading to more fruity, elegant wines. Nebbiolo thrives here particularly well, as the soils retain and release heat to the vines. This allows for optimal ripening of the grapes. Vineyards are often planted on steep slopes, ensuring good sun exposure and ventilation. The region is known for its long winemaking tradition. Numerous family-run businesses cultivate this heritage. Roero is increasingly popular with wine lovers.

Tradition and Innovation at Negro Angelo e Figli

Negro Angelo e Figli looks back on a long history. Vineyards were cultivated here as early as 1670. Today, the family runs the winery in the eighth generation, combining traditional methods with state-of-the-art technology. The winery is committed to sustainable viticulture and relies on environmentally friendly practices.

The Negro family places value on the authenticity of its wines and preserves local grape variety diversity. In addition to Nebbiolo, Arneis, Barbera and Dolcetto are also cultivated. A speciality is the Roero Arneis, which has significantly contributed to the renaissance of the variety. The Negro Angelo e Figli winery has been awarded numerous prizes, particularly noteworthy is the highest rating of “Tre Bicchieri” in the Gambero Rosso.

The fruit is still restrained, but promises a promising development. The finish is long and mineral, leaving a pleasant aftertaste.
