Introduction
The Negro Lorenzo Roero Arneis is a distinguished white wine from Piedmont, Italy, crafted from the native Arneis grape. Known as the "little rascal" for its challenging cultivation, Arneis produces wines that are aromatic, structured, and richly textured. Lorenzo Negro, a family-run estate with deep roots in Roero, brings out the unique qualities of this varietal with a focus on authenticity and terroir expression, resulting in a wine with fresh acidity, complex aromas, and mineral-driven depth.

Terrior
The Roero region in Piedmont is characterized by sandy soils with traces of limestone and clay, which impart a notable minerality and refined structure to the wine. The warm days and cool nights of Piedmont allow the Arneis grapes to ripen slowly, developing rich flavors while maintaining acidity and balance.

Appearance
Pale straw yellow with greenish reflections, clear and brilliant.

Nose
Aromas of white peach, pear, and citrus, layered with floral notes of jasmine and acacia. Subtle hints of almond and wet stone add complexity, reflecting the mineral character of the Roero terroir.

Palate
Medium-bodied with a smooth texture, featuring flavors of ripe apple, lemon, and apricot. The wine’s bright acidity balances its creamy mouthfeel, while a touch of minerality adds depth and structure. Lightly herbal undertones and a subtle almond note give the wine an additional layer of refinement.

Finish
Long and refreshing, with lingering notes of citrus, stone fruit, and a gentle mineral finish that leaves a clean, crisp impression.

Overall Impression
The Negro Lorenzo Roero Arneis is an elegant and versatile white wine that captures the essence of Piedmont’s Roero region. Its combination of bright acidity, mineral complexity, and layered fruit make it an ideal pairing for seafood, light pasta dishes, and soft cheeses, or as a delightful aperitif for those who enjoy Italian whites with depth and finesse.
