Angelo Negro ‘Prachiosso’ Roero Rosso 2019
Location: Italy, Piedmont
Winemaker: Angelo Negro
Grapes: Nebbiolo
Winemaking: Organic farming. Hand hesvest. Single vineyard bottling from a hill side of sand and calcareous rock. The vines are older and the maceration lasts longer: 18 days here. Then it spends 20 months aging in a mix of old oak casks, oak barrels, and in the bottle. This old vineyard site was recognized and named long ago; it would be a cru if Roero had a cru system.
From the Importer The Piedmont Guy: A historically significant winery whose origins date back to 1670. In this year, two of the estate’s most important vineyards—Perdaudin and Prachiosso—were first planted. With some of the most desired vineyard sites in Roero, Negro is one of the indisputable legends of the region. Giovanni Negro, the estate’s present owner, produced the first dry Roero Arneis on record in 1971. Following tradition, the winery in Monteu Roero now boasts a stunning lineup of Arneis as well as an impressive range of Roero Nebbiolo. Today, Negro observes organic practices while managing a staggering 64 hectares.
