Elegance, freshness and drinkability - these are the terms that immediately came to mind when we tasted this extremely precise Barbera. Bright light red with orange reflections. Clear bouquet of cherries, blackberries and spices. In the mouth again this freshness and clarity, the fine tannins accompany the forest-fruity, juicy taste until a slightly nutty finish. SUPERIORE.DE

A perfect introduction to the impressive craft of a young winemaker who has already made her way to the top. Here, Nebbiolo comes into the glass in purezza, the ageing partly in 500 Liters tonneaux and stainless steel interprets it - according to Giulia Negri's vision - unadulterated and without distractions. Bright ruby red, in the bouquet small red berries, damp forest soil and a discreet note of violets. Impressive elegance and suppleness on the palate, the Nebbiolo always remains taut and cool. In the final, the dark fruit beguiles with a freshness and juiciness that never seems opulent, but carries the tension into the long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

A successful transformation of a Burgundian Pinot Noir with all the attributes of the Langhe's ideal altitude. The grapes of this single-varietal Pinot Noir come from the highest slopes of Piedmont, over 500 m above sea level, where the vines, unlike in Burgundy, grow on sandy-loamy soil. Bright ruby red. Amarena cherry on the nose, rounded off with a hint of gooseberry and mint. Filigree on the palate with a balanced and delicate mix of fleshiness, ripe red berries, refinement and elegance. Even when young, it is complex, rounded and has a delicate tannic structure. Giulia Negri shows all her skills and the potential of her top vineyard "La Tartufaia" here, using the world's most demanding grape variety as an example. Chapeau! SUPERIORE.DE

Giulia Negri would certainly not have the nickname "Barolo Girl" if this wine did not exist. The grapes for this archetype of a modern-traditional (sic!) Barolo come from the top vineyards Brunate and Serradenari, the latter at an altitude of up to 520 m and the soils are loamy-sandy. The grapes are fermented spontaneously and then the actual ageing takes place in large oak barrels. Barriques? Not at all.

Strong light ruby red. Rose petals, nutty notes and small red berries on the nose. The fine fragrance continues on the palate: even though it does not deny its origin and also the grape variety, it has an almost unique elegance and freshness that allows it to be identified as a lively and completely complete top wine even when young. Further years of maturity are certainly not a mistake, because one can impressively feel how the complexity that increases with age joins the finesse and elegance that are already unmistakable today. One bottle for now and don't put the rest too far away in the cellar, please! SUPERIORE.DE

"Aromas of ripe berries, cedar, truffle and eucalyptus form the nose. Linear and rather austere, the palate offers sour cherry, ground clove and a hint of black tea alongside tense tannins." Wine Enthusiast

"A suave version, almost elegant even, offering macerated strawberry and cherry fruit, with accents of menthol, mineral and tobacco allied to a sleek frame. Balanced and persistent, stretching out nicely on the finish." Wine Spectator

"Lovely fine tannins that are velvety and polished with a medium to full body. Juicy and flavorful. Hints of orange peel. Seamless. Deep mouthfeel. Clay soils." James Suckling

The single vineyard Serradenari is currently the highest vineyard in the Barolo area and at the same time the historic site of the appellation (MGA - Menzione Geografica Aggiuntiva). The cool and mountainous climate with its clay and marl soils gives rise to a Nebbiolo here that makes few words - it is precise, clear and unambiguous. All the more exciting when, with some aeration and maturity, the result opens up and reveals its full range of sensuality and loveliness. An impressive drop that leaves hardly anything to be desired in terms of finesse and clarity, if there were not still one or two secrets lying dormant here, which only reveal themselves when one fully surrenders to this aristocratic growth.

"Scorched earth, burned rubber and toasted nut aromas mingle with whiffs of spice. Austere and firm, the linear palate recalls sour cherry, blood orange, allspice and hazelnut framed in close-grained tannins that leave a rather grippy finish. Give the tannins several years to unclench, then drink sooner rather than later to catch the delicate fruit sensations." Wine Enthusiast

"Extremely floral with violets and roses. Orange peel. Forest strawberries. Medium to full body. Very fine tannins and a long and bright finish. Racy and focused. Energetic. Like a Cannubi." James Suckling
