Angelo Negro Roero Ciabot San Giorgio Riserva 2021

Negro Roero Ciabot San Giorgio Riserva 2021 is a refined Nebbiolo that showcases the elegant, perfumed side of Piemonte away from the better-known Barolo and Barbaresco hills. Sourced from prime Roero vineyards and crafted by one of the region’s benchmark estates, this Riserva balances structure, finesse, and aromatic complexity in equal measure. Aged longer for additional depth and harmony, it’s a wine that captures both the history and modern precision of Roero Nebbiolo.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2021 Ciabot San Giorgio Riserva shows a luminous garnet color with brick reflections at the rim, typical of well-crafted Nebbiolo. The nose is inviting and layered, with notes of ripe red cherry, wild strawberry, and rose petals, followed by hints of violets, dried herbs, sweet spices, licorice, and a touch of earthy minerality. On the palate, this is a medium to full-bodied Roero with finely etched tannins and a vibrant, mouthwatering acidity. Flavors of red cherry, raspberry, and cranberry are interwoven with notes of orange zest, tobacco, subtle tar, and savory spice. The tannic structure is firm yet polished, promising excellent development in bottle. While already approachable with a brief aeration, the 2021 has the freshness and grip to age gracefully for 8–12 years from vintage, gaining tertiary notes of leather, truffle, and dried flowers over time.

Production
The fruit for Ciabot San Giorgio Riserva comes from selected Roero vineyards characterized by sandy, calcareous soils that lend Nebbiolo its aromatic lift and silky tannin profile. The rolling hills benefit from good diurnal temperature variation, preserving acidity and finesse in the grapes. Grapes are typically harvested by hand to ensure careful selection of bunches at optimal ripeness. In the cellar, a traditional yet carefully controlled vinification is employed: extended maceration on the skins to extract color and tannins, followed by maturation in wood—often a combination of large casks and/or well-integrated barrels—to refine structure without overpowering the varietal character. The extended aging required for Riserva status allows the wine to knit together, adding depth, complexity, and a long, harmonious finish.

Food & Serving
This Roero Riserva is a natural match for classic Piemontese dishes such as tajarin with meat ragù, braised veal, or agnolotti del plin. It also pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, game birds, mushroom risotto, truffle-based dishes, and aged hard cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano or mature Castelmagno. Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F) in large Burgundy or Nebbiolo glasses to highlight its aromatics. Young bottles will benefit from 1–2 hours in a decanter, while more mature examples can be opened and gently aerated in the glass.

Producer
The Negro family, led today under the name Negro Angelo, is one of Roero’s historic and most respected producers, with roots in viticulture that trace back several centuries in Piemonte. Over generations, they have been instrumental in elevating Roero from an insider’s appellation to a serious source of top-quality Nebbiolo, Arneis, and other indigenous varieties. Their philosophy combines deep respect for the local terroir with meticulous vineyard work and thoughtful, balanced winemaking. Wines like Ciabot San Giorgio Riserva have helped establish the estate’s reputation as a reference point in Roero, regularly earning critical praise and showcasing the region’s capacity for elegant, ageworthy Nebbiolo that can stand alongside the best from neighboring Barolo and Barbaresco.
