Vintage Report

The 2021 vintage for Barolo in Piedmont was of exceptional quality, achieving an impressive score of 97 points. It was an outstanding year that produced youthful, powerful wines with enormous aging potential.

The king's wine, showpiece, gem—whatever you like—that's what this Barolo Serralunga d'Alba from the Negro winery is. The Nebbiolo vineyards for this Barolo from Serralunga d'Alba primarily face south/southwest and are situated at an altitude of around 250 meters. The subsoil consists primarily of very old slate. The harvest, which takes place at the end of October, is carried out entirely by hand. And thanks to the consistently high quality of the Negro winery, a truly special Italian wine is created.

Negro's sixty-plus hectare vineyard

Since 1670, the Negro family has cultivated vineyards on the hills of Roero, striving to reflect the beautiful landscape and terroir in their wines. Today, the winery owns approximately 60 hectares of vineyards, located between the historic Perdaudin farm in Monteu Roero, those of S. Vittore in Canale, and Basarin in Neive. The grapes grow in the best sunny locations, in calcareous alluvial soils that vary from hill to hill. These different soils and microclimates are naturally well-defined and rich in flavorful wines. The climate is temperate-cold, with a good temperature range and relatively low humidity compared to nearby areas. The land, formed by the remains of an ancient sea, consists of sand (between 20 and 40 percent), a good percentage of limestone, and a small amount of clay, giving the soil a light and permeable structure. The wines produced here have a distinctive aroma and complex structure.

A special Italian wine from Negro

After harvest, fermentation follows, a very traditional process preceded by twenty days of skin contact with regular pumping over. Maturation lasts 38 months, both in Slovenian oak barrels and in the bottle. This Barolo, if stored flat, can be kept for over 15 years. The color is garnet red. The aromas are reminiscent of dried roses, herbs, violets, and earth. This characteristic of Barolos from the Serralunga region. Rich and full-bodied, with a firm structure and silky tannins. The finish is wonderfully long.
