Winemaking
The grapes for this Barolo originate from the elevated vineyards of Brunate and Serradenari, with the latter lying at an altitude of up to 500 metres and with loamy and sandy soil. The Nebbiolo grapes are harvested by hand and carefully selected in the wine cellar. Following spontaneous fermentation, the wine remains on the mash for 40 days. Subsequent ageing takes place for 24 months in large Slovenian oak barrels.
Our tasting note
This Barolo shines a lively garnet red in the glass. It delivers rose petals, dried cherries, small red berries and nutty notes on the nose, and is fresh, intense and long- lastingon the palate. "La Tartufaia" is a Barolo brimming with finesse and elegance, with well-integrated tannins and a lingering finish.
Giulia Negri
The winery in La Morra encompasses 6.5 hectares of vineyards and 12 hectares of woodland, where the famous white Alba white truffles thrive. The organically cultivated vineyards are situated at an altitude of between 350 and 540 metres. At the top lies the Serradenari single vineyard, the highest vineyard in the entire Barolo area. The location provides optimum conditions for the Nebbiolo, which is responsible for the unusually long-lived growths. It is a variety with great personality, Giulia Negri enthuses. It cannot be reproduced, is unique and majestic. Giulia Negri is an impressive young woman. Before turning 20 she had tasted her first own wine selections in her parents' winery, which she took over completely at the age of 23 after studying to become a bio-technologist and undertaking internships in Burgundy. Her first own Barolo was the 2007 vintage and it immediately made it into Wine Enthusiast's Top 100. At that time, she was still referred to as a «garage winegrower». A lot has happened since then. She always wanted to make her own wines, in her own way, fully detached from other schools of thought. Traditional and modern at the same time in their own cheeky style. Today, the «Barolo Girl» - as Giulia is also known - is one of the most watched young winemakers of her generation, although she has only been running the winery on her own since 2014.
