Angelo Negro ‘Angelin’ Langhe Nebbiolo 2021
Location: Italy, Piedmont, Langhe
Winemaker: Giovanni Negro
Grapes: Nebbiolo
Soil: calcareous, sandy
Winemaking: Maceration in stainless steel tanks, traditional with floating-cap for 15-18 days
From the Importer The Piedmont Guy: ‘Angelin’ is an intense ruby red colour with orange highlights with ageing. Fresh bouquet with hints of rose, blackberry and blackcurrant. Soft flavour, rightly tannic, persistent and well balanced.
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.
