Angelo Negro Birbet 

Since 1670 the Negro family has cultivated vineyards in the Roero hills (northwest of Alba), working to increase the value of this corner of Piemonte and dedicating wines to the prestigious native vines: Favorita, Arneis, Nebbiolo, Barbera, Bonarda, Dolcetto and Brachetto. Today the estate is run by Giovanni Negro and his family. With some of the best vineyard sites in Roero, Angelo Negro is one of the indisputable legends of the region. Giovanni Negro, the estate’s present owner, produced the first dry Arneis on record in 1971.

 

Birbet is a slightly sweet wine made from an aromatic red grape called Brachetto.  It is lightly sparkling with bright notes of fresh strawberries and cherries and nice, balanced acid.  Perfect for pairing with your favorite holiday sweet treat!

Varietal: Brachetto

Best served chilled  between 45-50°F
