Prachiosso Roero DOCG 2022 - Angelo Negro

About the wine

The name Prachiosso is derived from the Latin word “Pratum chiusum” (closed meadow) and refers to the special location of this area in a natural amphitheatre. The vineyards in Frazione Sant'Anna di Monteu Roero are located on the south side of the valley. The plot, which has been planted with vines for 12 years, was bought by Angelo Negro in the 196s from a local monarch and planted in 1971. The soil is chalky and sandy and the height of the plot is 32 meters above sea level. The south-facing position gives the Roero produced here a robust structure and a good body. No herbicides are used and the grapes are harvested by hand: The grapes are placed in 2 kg boxes to maintain their quality.
