NEGRO GIUSEPPE BARBARESCO PIAN CAVALLO 2020

Negro Giuseppe, helmed by Giorgio Negro since 1984, represents the pinnacle of Piedmont winemaking tradition. Their 2018 Barbaresco DOCG "Pian Cavallo" emerges from hillsides where calcareous soils and precise microclimates create ideal conditions for Nebbiolo. This vintage benefited from balanced weather that allowed slower, more complete phenolic maturation. In the glass, it presents an aromatic tapestry of wild berries, crushed roses, and sweet tobacco, evolving on the palate with layers of star anise, dried orange peel, and subtle minerality—all supported by classic Barbaresco structure that will reward patient cellaring.
