Giovanni Negro, the estate's proud patriarch, vinified the first dry Roero Arneis on record in 1971. That's not just wine history—that's the moment when a forgotten grape became Piedmont's white wine revelation.
Since 1670, the Negro family has been making Langa and Roero wines from native grape varieties, but it was Giovanni who saw what others missed. While the rest of Piedmont chased red wine fame, he looked at the sandy soils of Roero and knew Arneis belonged there.
Today, Giovanni leads the estate with his wife Marisa and children Gabriele, Angelo, Emanuela and Giuseppe. This is family winemaking at its most authentic—everyone has skin in the game, everyone has dirt under their fingernails.
The 70-hectare organic estate produces wines exclusively from native grapes. No international varieties. No shortcuts. Just Arneis, Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Brachetto doing what they've always done best.
But here's their secret weapon: a light red Brachetto that's become a cult favorite. While everyone else makes Brachetto sweet and sparkling, Giovanni vinifies his dry and still. It's Brachetto with backbone—bright, food-friendly, and absolutely irresistible.
