Barolo La Tartufaia Giulia Negri 2019

They call her Barolo Girl: Giulia Negri, a young girl that probably isn't yet in her thirties (she likes to give random numbers about her age).
Energetic, with a pure grit that makes her eyes shine when she tells us about her work and its wines. Young but already with an awareness and a security that leaves imagine a new star and a great wine woman.

Despite the first awards have already arrived, (because to discover the smart vigneron does not take long time) Julia never manifests, apart from a healthy pride, nor haughtiness indeed! He has that Socratic humility of "I know not to know" and the acute one determination that made her take over the family business by upsetting her everything and for everything both the cultivation and the activities in the cellar. Her cellar is a simple one, made of some barrique, tonneau, order and cleaning, overlooking a part of the vineyards and on a landscape that opens up as far as the eye can see and leaves time for reflection and philosophical disquisitions.

So, since some years agò, Giulia has been making "her wine", without compromise, in a land already glorious, on which one could also rely only on the name Barolo. Instead, her research is her challenge that looks to the future with a new interpretation of wine.

It all starts with the vinification of the collections of the various vineyards, leaves them to be refined separately and already from the first tasting, she realizes that the wine has an extra gear from the Serradenari cru. It becomes immediatly her flagship, the wine that expresses the best of the Cru Serradenari: a high land, ventilated, cold, mineral and floral thanks to a microclimate characterized by one constant breeze and strong temperature changes between day and night.

Its French cultural baggage is found both in the winemaking without the bland of its crus, both in the fineness of its wines. Burgundy in the heart, pushes her to cultivate also Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, both coming from the Tartufaia vineyard. Two wines that blindly, they could be traded for French wines, for finesse, elegance, structure and minerals in white one.
