Tasting notes
La Morra. Tasted blind. Lustrous youthful ruby. Concentrated, a little exotic and still, compact on the nose with hints of old leather and a suggestion of gingerbread. Juicy red and dried fruit and soft gripping tannins. Doesn't immediately remind me of Nebbiolo but perhaps that comes with more bottle age. Surprisingly high acidity for this torrid vintage. (WS)

With fruit from La Morra, the Giulia Negri 2017 Barolo Serradenari shows dried fruit and scorched earth. The wine opens to dark plum and dark cherry, with campfire ember, baked brick, spice and bramble. It shows a medium finish, with some texture to the tannins that subside and becoming silky and smooth on the finish. Some 6,500 bottles were made.
