FROM THE PIEDMONT GUY
THE WINE: In collaboration with the winery, The Piedmont Guy released a dry Brachetto aged on the lees of Arneis and then bottled without filtration. It is a beautifully floral and charmingly light-bodied red wine best served with a chill. More traditionally, this aromatic red variety called Brachetto is used to make a sweet, sparkling wine, often referred to as Birbèt in the Roero. Negro’s version of Birbèt is a perfect accompaniment to brunch as well as dessert pairings involving fresh berries, pastry cream, and even chocolate.
THE PRODUCER: 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 is 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.
