Nebbiolo from Piedmont, Italy

Tasting Note

La Tartufaia is a divinely atmospheric truffle forest in the heart of La Morra where Giulia Negri’s vineyards run parallel. The wines produced here, from clay-rich soil, are textbook examples of classically structured Barolo typical of the area. 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. Rounded tannins, salty minerality, and pure Nebbiolo fruit make this wine an essential selection for any cellar, especially in such a stellar vintage.

Food Pairing 

Pairs well with cheese, legumes, red meat, and roasted meat.
