Respectful of history, Giulia is also tremendously ambitious. She is keen to forge her own path, whilst observing other small, maverick producers from around the world, keen to glean knowledge and experiment. Extremely personable, she has rare access to some of the finest mentors in the international wine world and their very graciously offered advice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"category-about__text\"\u003eGiulia’s wines have already won considerable acclaim but she is grounded , very aware that whilst her style is intuitive, her thirst for knowledge insatiable she also enjoys substantial, tried and tested historic roots – and some rather fine vineyards. Serradenari, the crest of Barolo, presents views over almost all of Barolo, the vines surrounded by prolific truffle forests. Giulia pays tribute to her beloved Burgundy, planting Chardonnay and Pinot Noir near the forest. Nebbiolo inhabits warmer, sandy soils producing Barolo which Giulia views as a work of art, a “flagship in the winemaking world”. Her wines become more polished year on year whilst retaining an innate honesty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"category-about__text\"\u003eOrganic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"category-about__text\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGiulia Negri\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape \/ Blend\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e100% Nebbiolo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ePiedmont, Italy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eWinemaker's Tasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAt 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 Points - Jeb Dunnuck\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFrom the highest vineyards of the estate at roughly 540 meters elevation, the 2022 Barolo Marassio shows a slightly deeper yet still transparent ruby hue. Aromas of lavender, wild herbs, and black raspberries emerge alongside subtle reduction. Medium-bodied but more structured and powerful than the other wines in the range, it offers mouthwatering acidity, salty minerality, and broader tannins that will benefit from time. It is likely to be the longest-lived wine of the lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct size: 750ml\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kermit Lynch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55795275235633,"sku":null,"price":169.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/0441\/0666\/files\/GiuliaNegri_Marassio_BaroloDOCG_Piedmont_Italy_2020.jpg?v=1717625398","url":"https:\/\/merchantofwine.com\/products\/giulia-negri-marassio-barolo-docg-piedmont-italy-2022","provider":"Merchant of Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
