The Negro family has owned vineyards in Roero since 1670. On the hills of Piedmont, they dedicate their lives to producing quality wines from the white grapes Favorita (Vermentino) and Arneis, and the red varieties Nebbiolo, Barbera, Bonarda, Brachetto, and Dolcetto. Today, they own sixty hectares of vineyards, spread over several plots, including the vineyards at the historic Perdaudin family estate in Monte Roero. The grapes grow on the sunniest slopes on calcareous alluvial soils. The diverse terroir and microclimate in the various vineyards contribute to the rich and flavorful wines.
Negro's distinctive wines have already won numerous awards. These are all thanks to Giovanni Negro. He is passionately dedicated to making the wines even better. Because, according to Negro, there's always room for improvement. And the whole family contributes to this. Each child has their own role within the company: one works in the vineyards, while another handles exports.
The grapes for this Barbera d'Alba Dina are harvested by hand in September and then gently pressed. After fermentation, this Negro Barbera d'Alba Dina is aged for 12 months in steel barrels. The result is stunning, with abundant notes of black and red fruit on the nose, along with hints of plum and light spice. The taste is truly typical of Barbera and very delicate, with beautiful, refined fruit nuances of blackberry, cherry, and plum. But above all, it's very soft and ripe!
