Angelo Negro Maria Elisa Rosè Metodo Classico Nebbiolo d'Alba Extra Brut 2022

Angelo Negro’s Maria Elisa Rosé is an Extra Brut Metodo Classico sparkling wine made from Nebbiolo grown in Roero, Piedmont. Created in 2004 as a tribute to Giovanni Negro’s wife, it pairs the grape’s lively red-fruit character with fine, persistent bubbles and a notably dry, peppery finish.

Tasting Notes
Its onion-skin pink colour is lifted by a fine, persistent perlage. The nose offers fragrant red-fruit aromas, while the palate is fresh and lively, with dynamic acidity and a rounded, structured finish accented by elegant peppery notes. Extended ageing on the lees lends aromatic complexity and finesse. The wine is made to be enjoyed for its freshness, though its structure may allow it to develop harmoniously over time.

Production
The Nebbiolo comes from vineyards in Monteu Roero, at 280–320 metres above sea level, with north and north-west exposures. Sandy limestone soils and the cooler aspects help preserve freshness and lend clarity to the wine. The grapes are harvested by hand between late August and early September, then cold-macerated and gently pressed. Malolactic fermentation is avoided to retain the natural acidity; after the Metodo Classico second fermentation, the wine spends six months maturing with gentle bâtonnage, followed by 60 months on the lees.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, around 6–8°C. Its crisp acidity and dry, savoury character make it a good match for seafood, smoked salmon, delicate cured meats or a simple risotto. Decanting is not recommended; pour gently into flute or white-wine glasses to preserve the bubbles while allowing the aromas to show.

Producer
Angelo Negro is a family producer in Roero, Piedmont. Maria Elisa Rosé was created in 2004 as a tribute to Giovanni Negro’s wife and reflects the family’s commitment to Nebbiolo and the character of their local vineyards. No further producer history or notable achievements are specified.
