Giulia Negri

One of Piedmont’s rising stars, 27 years old Giulia is the most recent generation to the reins of the family estate stretching back 150 years. She trained in Burgundy, where she gained her inspiration and truly began to form her palate. Giulia pursues her goal of crafting Barolo with a Burgundian sensibility. In fact, she even inherited small parcels of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir that her father planted on the estate’s cooler, north facing sites, allowing her to pay tribute to the great wines of the Cotes d’Or through Piemontese soil.

Her artisanal approach extends to sustainable viticulture, harvesting by hand, minimizing filtration and long but gentle macerations in the cellar.

Barologirl, as she has become known, may still be the new kid on the block, but her wines are already among region’s classic.
