Hand-harvested from the Serradenari cru of Barolo. This wine was wild-fermented in 60 Hectoliter wooden vats for 45 days, this Nebbiolo was matured for 30 months in 25 Hectoliter oak barrels. It was bottled unfiltered. 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. She started small, releasing microcuvées under her own label, before finally taking over the totality of vineyard management and production in 2014. In the heart of the Serradenari cru of La Morra—the highest point in the Barolo zone—Giulia, or Barologirl as she has become known, passionately pursues her goal of crafting Barolo with a Burgundian sensibility. She may still be the new kid on the block in La Morra, but tasting her wines reveals a fine touch and devout respect for tradition that already places her wines among the region’s classics. 14.5% ABV
