Giulia Negri – Langhe Chardonnay La Tartufaia – 2021

It may sound absurd, but some of the labels that have increased the fame of several Langa producers come from foreign grapes, grown and interpreted in a way that enhances the terroir without taking away that typical taste of home. The Chardonnay for Giulia Negri we can say was a bet won by challenging nature, it is a vineyard planted on the hill of Serradenari around 500 meters, not prohibitive but difficult to manage according to the seasons. Very passionate and inspired by Burgundy she wanted to follow that style, she makes a meticulous choice of bunches after which she carries out the fermentations including malolactic in 350-liter oak barrels continuing the aging in the same tonneaux for 20 months. Since the early years this label has meant the increased attention of an international audience and especially its talent in making wine, here we perceive great refinement and excellent balance in the use of wood with notes of vanilla and butter in addition to the typical floral hints, round on the palate with good persistence and creaminess at the end. Few bottles, not easy to find!

Description

We are faced with tradition embracing the contemporary, if we talk about Giulia Negri we are naming one of the most promising and daring young people of the Langa. Her story all takes place in the commune of La Morra at the locality of Serradenari where both the vineyards and the winery are located in one of the highest points of the Barolo DOCG distributed in about 6 hectares. Heir to an important family active in politics and writing, after spending her youth between Rome and Milan, after graduating she decided to change her life by returning to her Langa origins. Her passion for wine immediately overwhelmed her; she founded everything from scratch in an old farmhouse she owned and her great curiosity led her to cultivate the Nebbiolo, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay varieties. She was a “garagist” producer in her own right, full freedom in style and without dogma with a desire to convey her ideas through her wines with a purely artisanal imprint that today are among the most sought-after in the area. A non-interventionist philosophy of absolute preservation of the ecosystem with hectares of woods famous for guarding the prized truffles while guaranteeing diversity and sanity in the vineyards, while in the cellar the work remains faithful in the fullness of tradition with long macerations and the use of large barrels. A current of thought her very much inspired by what were the “Barolo Boys” who seek not change but the novelty of an all-female return to the past by rediscovering precious secrets with the bold mindset of a “BaroloGirl” with definite ideas.
