Tasting Notes: The Giulia Negri Barolo Marassio sits at the highest part of Serradenari and Barolo in general. The unusual soils are a mix of limestone with veins of chalk running through. This adds a intense mineral component to the wine, marking it as one for the cellar.
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.
