Giulia Negri Barolo Tartufaia 2022

Everything about Giulia Negri represents a breath of fresh air in Barolo, from her youthful energy to her high-elevation terroir surrounded by forests and thriving biodiversity. These forests, and their truffling history, give this bottling its name, and also underscore the uncommon liveliness of Giulia’s wines.

La Tartufaia (single vineyard), which Giulia says is her “most La Morra” Barolo, is elegant and fragrant the nose is a complex mix of wild cherry, espresso, and dried flowers with a distinct earthy, forest-floor undertone. On the palate, it offers juicy red fruit and sandy tannins, providing more immediate texture and "resonance" than her other labels. It finishes with a saline mineral grip and a lift of alpine herbs.
