Giulia Negri Barolo La Tartufaia 2019 750 ML

Taking over a well-established Barolo estate at the tender age of 24 might cause one to flinch at the prospect, but for Giulia Negri, the latest in a 150-year line of grape growers in the Langhe commune of La Morra, the challenge proved irresistible. In the heart of the Serradenari cru of La Morra the highest point in the Barolo zone, with vineyards culminating at 536 meters elevation Giulia passionately pursues her goal of crafting Barolo with a Burgundian sensibility. In fact, she even inherited small parcels of Chardonnay and Pinot Nero that her father planted on the estate's cooler, north-facing sites, allowing her to pay tribute to the great wines of the Cote d'Or through the lens of Piemontese soil.
