Reviewed November 2025Between the estate’s cool, high-altitude sites, soil specificities, and a reductive winemaking style, Giulia Negri’s wines can be austere and wiry, particularly in their youth, and this is accentuated in 2022. The most outgoing and generous of her three Barolos (relatively speaking) is La Tartufaia. Fragrances recall rhubarb preserve, mint, tarragon and juniper. While lightweight and fine-framed, it fills the space with wild strawberry and earthy forest notes before a biting mineral finish. Tight and clenched, it simmers with flavour intensity and transparency. (MM)
Notes
La Tartufaia takes its name from the truffle-bearing oak woods around Giulia Negri's La Morra estate. The producer describes this Barolo's west-facing sites at 450–500 meters, with clay, silt and sand in the soils. Its general cellar description calls for spontaneous fermentation in wooden vats and aging in large Austrian oak casks. Decanter finds the 2022 fine-framed and tightly wound, with wild strawberry, rhubarb and savory herbs followed by a firm mineral close. It is relatively more open than Negri's other two Barolos in that assessment, while retaining the austere youthful structure the review identifies in this vintage.
