Piedi Neri from Croce di Malto is an Imperial Stout that anchors itself firmly in Piedmont. The brewery interprets the Russian Imperial style using barley malt, wheat malt, black rice and chestnuts from the Novara region—ingredients that ground this dark beer in local identity.

The nose is intense and roasted, revealing coffee, cocoa and almond notes. The palate balances roasted depth with subtle warmth, while the finish turns dry and decisively bitter, with a lingering edge that clings pleasantly. A stout with genuine territorial character.
