The Langhe Nebbiolo Pian delle Mole 2022 from Giulia Negri is a refined and characterful expression of Nebbiolo from the high-altitude vineyards of Serradenari in La Morra, Piedmont. Made from 100% organically farmed Nebbiolo grapes, spontaneously fermented in stainless steel and aged in 500-litre tonneaux, this wine combines elegant freshness with the deep mineral complexity for which Serradenari is renowned.
In the glass, a bright, translucent ruby-red with garnet reflections — notably pale in hue, characteristic of Serradenari's cool, north-facing exposure. On the nose, expressive and refined: violets and rose petals are followed by wild strawberry, red cherry, and subtle hints of mint and tobacco. With time in the glass, fresh mineral nuances and a gentle spice emerge. On the palate, lively and energetic, with a supple yet present tannic structure and a crisp acidity that gives the wine its typical Nebbiolo character. The body is pleasantly medium-full, underpinned by ripe red fruit and a light earthy depth. The finish is long, mineral, and elegant. An excellent match with vitello tonnato, tajarin with truffle, grilled lamb, or ripe soft cheeses.
Giulia Negri is one of the most talked-about names of the new generation of Piedmontese winemakers. She took over the family estate of Serradenari at the age of twenty-four — a property that has been in the family for over a century and a half — and converted the vineyards to certified organic viticulture. With an uncompromising approach and a keen eye for terroir, she quickly established herself as one of the most respected young producers in the Langhe.
The Pian delle Mole — named after an ancient grain mill that once stood at the foot of the estate — is the most approachable wine in the range, but far from simple in character. The grapes grow on the lowest parcels of Serradenari, at approximately 450 to 500 metres above sea level, on a north-facing slope with Tortonian soils of sandy-clay composition, rich in marine sediments. The cool exposure and fresh microclimate are the source of the wine's hallmark tension and vibrancy.
The harvest is carried out entirely by hand. In the cellar, the Nebbiolo undergoes spontaneous fermentation — without the addition of cultured yeasts — in stainless steel tanks, with a maceration of at least fifteen days. The wine then ages for approximately fourteen months in a combination of stainless steel and used 500-litre tonneaux. This process adds complexity while preserving the fruit's purity. The result is a Langhe Nebbiolo that reflects all the elegance and minerality of Serradenari, and forms the perfect introduction to the great Barolos of Giulia Negri.
