The parcels of La Tartufaia lie between the historic Barolo slopes of La Morra and the forests where white truffles are foraged in autumn. The soil of calcareous marl mixed with fine layers of sand gives this Nebbiolo a delicate flavour and silky structure. Giulia Negri cultivates the vineyard in a natural way, working with spontaneous fermentation and careful ageing for around 30 months in medium-sized wooden barrels to bring the terroir unadulterated into the glass. The 2021 vintage provided a perfect balance of ripe fruit and fresh acidity.

A radiant ruby red colour in the glass. The bouquet unfolds in fragrant rose petals, ripe cherries, raspberries and subtle hints of liquorice, white pepper and dried herbs. On the palate, La Tartufaia is supple and precise at the same time: juicy red fruits, delicate tannins and a lively acid wire create a harmonious, almost dancing mouthfeel. The long, elegant finish ends with subtle minerality and a delicate truffle note – a tribute to the vineyard and its special surroundings. A Barolo that shows charm and depth in equal intensity – finely woven, clearly characterised and remarkably enjoyable to drink. SUPERIORE.DE

"Beguiling and lingering scents of sandalwood, mocha and cherry lead to undertones of damp forest flora and alpine herbs on the lively, supple palate. Sandy tannins are speckled throughout and combine for a graceful grip. The fruit is juicy and flavoursome. The best value and most approachable wine in the range, though not without a certain tension." Decanter

"The Barolo La Tartufaia 2021 offers a little more depth of texture than the other wines in the series. Notes of espresso, macerated wild cherry, dried flowers, herbs, menthol and liquorice gradually begin to open up. Soft, supple contours envelop the whole. The Tartufaia is multi-layered and extremely inviting, in a style that shows off its resonance well on the mid-palate." Vinous
