Azienda Agricola Negretti

The passion ‘della terra La Morra’ is palpable when speaking with brothers Ezio and Massimo Negretti. Getting their hands dirty in the vines and their work in the cellar gives them life and they are not at all hesitant to share that passion with us. The Negretti Winery as it is today was founded in 2002 however, the brothers are fourth generation wine growers and their respect for the traditions of their great-grandparents is evident in each bottle.

La Morra, located in the north-west region of the DOC and known for producing more elegant style of Barolo with its slightly sandier soil than other villages with a good amount of clay. A long stretch running north-south, facing east or south-east it’s one of the higher hills in the region. Wines from Rive (La Morra) tend to highlight this elegant style while wines from Bricco Abrogio (Roddi) are more powerful yet balanced.
