Tasting Notes: The Giulia Negri Barolo La Tartufaia is Named after the truffle fields Giulia's grandfather planted on the property before her father replaced them with vineyards. Structured and elegant, with rose petal, hints of iron and menthol, and the power that comes from the iron rich soils of La Morra.
Estate History: Taking over a well-established Barolo estate at the tender age of 24 is an incredibly daunting 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. After completing studies in management and biology, and fresh off an inspiring trip to Burgundy where she truly began forming her palate, Giulia returned to La Morra motivated to learn all the secrets to making fine wine in her native Piemonte. She started small, releasing microcuvées under her own label, before finally taking over the totality of vineyard management and production in 2014.
