2021 Giulia Negri 'Marassio' Barolo Piedmont

Winemaker's Notes: At the very top of Serradenari, Marassio is the highest point in all of Barolo. Unusual for La Morra, the soil here is rich in limestone with veins of chalk, giving Giulia’s most dense, profound, earth- and mineral-driven Barolo—a masterpiece to revisit in five, ten, or twenty years.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Decanter - "Flinty reductive notes dissipate to reveal pepper, raspberry and delicate floral scents of dog rose. This has a bit more flesh on its bones but is still elegantly midweight. The palate builds with red currant and rosehip intensity gently supported by a hint of oak. Dry, grainy tannins flex their lean, sinewy muscles towards the finish, where earthy liquorice root takes over."
