Description

Winemaker Notes

La Tartufaia is a divinely atmospheric truffle forest in the heart of La Morra where Giulia’s vineyards run parallel. The wines produced here, from clay-rich soil, are textbook examples of classically structured Barolo typical of the area. Rounded tannins, salty minerality, and pure Nebbiolo fruit make this wine an essential selection for any cellar, especially in such a stellar vintage.

Professional Ratings

  • 91
    Aromas of toasted nut lead the nose along with underbrush and a whiff of eucalyptus. The linear palate offers sour cherry, vanilla, hazelnut and grilled Porcini alongside close-grained tannins.
  • 90
    The Giulia Negri 2018 Barolo La Tartufaia is subdued on first nose with aromas that build slowly. They start off with dark fruit and plum and gradually transition over to toasted spice, tar and asphalt. Its delivery to the palate is thin and polished.
