Introduction:
The Negro Angelo & Figli Vino Rosso Unfiltered Brachetto is a playful yet authentic red from Piedmont that challenges expectations of the Brachetto grape. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, this light-bodied red offers bright cherry and raspberry fruit, floral lift, and a pleasingly rustic texture. It’s a chillable, food-friendly red with both charm and character.

Terrior:
Sourced from the Roero hills in Piedmont, the vineyards benefit from sandy-calcareous soils and good sun exposure, contributing to the wine's aromatic clarity and natural acidity. The vines are farmed using sustainable or organic methods. This Brachetto is made with minimal intervention—undergoing cold maceration, fermentation with native yeasts, and aging on lees (from Arneis) for added texture before being bottled unfiltered.

Appearance:
Bright cherry-red with violet reflections. Slightly hazy due to its unfiltered nature, the wine shows a natural, rustic appeal that complements its lively profile.

Nose:
Highly aromatic with notes of candied red cherry, raspberry, rose petals, and violets. There’s also a subtle earthy undertone with a hint of wild herbs and saline minerality.

Palate:
Light to medium-bodied with refreshing acidity. The palate delivers fresh red fruit—cherry, cranberry, and raspberry—balanced by a faint herbal edge and soft, lees-driven texture. There’s no noticeable oak, keeping the focus on purity and vibrancy.

Finish:
Crisp and clean with lingering notes of tart red fruit, florals, and a subtle saline lift. The finish is mouthwatering and slightly chewy from the natural lees.

Overall Impression:
Negro Angelo & Figli’s Vino Rosso Unfiltered Brachetto is a joyful expression of native varietal and terroir.
