Angelo Negro Vino Bianco 2018
Piedmont, ItalyImported into America by The Piedmont Guy, this vino bianco is an unfiltered arneis from Roero's calcareous sandy soils. Angelo Negro is a historically significant winery doing back to 1670, the year that 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. Today, they farm 64 hectares with organic practices. This arneis was fermented in stainless, where it remained sur lie with battonage for four months, with no MLF. Pouring slightly cloudy, green apple acidity tightens crab apple bitterness, layered with yeasty lees, yellow fruits, and lifted with a fine spritz. The sourness returns on the finish, more apparently when the glass is warming up. Pleasant lighter arneis for serving briskly and soon.Tasted: 10 January 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $23.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
