Angelo Negro

The Negro family, which has been around in the area since the 17th century, is one of the leading figures of the Roero. Along with their children Angelo, Emanuela, Gabriele and Giuseppe, Giovanni and Marisa have created a winery that holds a significant vine-planted surface – important both in quantity and quality. The vineyards are located in the municipalities of Monteu Roero, Santo Stefano Roero and Canale (as well as an estate in Neive). Worth noting are among others the vineyards in the locations of Perdaudin, Prachiosso, Sant’Anna and Serra Lupini. They hold 50 estate-owned hectares (as well as another 15 that are leased), of which 44 belong to the DOCG denomination – 31 hectares are planted with Arneis and 13 with Nebbiolo.
