Angelo Negro e Figli

Few Italian wine estates can match the depth of history at Angelo Negro e Figli. Founded in 1670 by Giovanni Domenico Negro, the family has cultivated vineyards in the Roero hills for more than 350 years. That heritage is not merely ceremonial; it shapes every decision in the vineyard and winery. The estate sits within the UNESCO-listed Langhe, Roero, and Monferrato landscape, recognizing the cultural and agricultural significance of this corner of Piedmont.

• Founded in 1670 by Giovanni Domenico Negro
• Over 350 years of unbroken family ownership and viticulture
• Estate vineyards located within a UNESCO World Heritage landscape
• Currently led by Giovanni, Gabriele, Angelo, Giuseppe, and Emanuela Negro

The estate's 60 hectares are divided across four named vineyard sites spanning two sides of the Tanaro River. In Roero, Cascina Perdaudin in Monteu Roero and Cascina St. Vittore in Canale provide the sandy, fossil-laden soils characteristic of the appellation. On the Langhe side, Cascina Basarin in Neive and Baudana in Serralunga d'Alba reach into Barbaresco and Barolo territory respectively. The continental Mediterranean climate is moderated by unique microclimates at each site, allowing the estate to work across multiple appellations including DOCG Roero, DOCG Barbaresco, DOCG Barolo, DOC Langhe, and DOC Barbera d'Alba.

Angelo Negro e Figli focuses exclusively on native Piedmontese grape varieties. The portfolio spans red, white, rosé, sparkling, sweet, and fortified wines, as well as spirits. White varieties include Arneis, Favorita, and Moscato; reds include Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, and Brachetto. The estate's most historically significant contribution to Italian wine came in 1971, when Giovanni Negro produced the first dry Roero Arneis on record, helping establish Arneis as a serious dry white variety rather than merely a blending component or sweet wine grape.
