Description

G.D. Vajra represents the soul of modern Piedmont: wines of purity, lift, and quiet confidence. From vineyards in Coste di Vergne, Fossati, and La Volta, Albe (“sunrises”) blends fruit from different altitudes and expositions to deliver a remarkably complete Barolo. The 2021 vintage captures balance and energy in equal measure. It’s perfumed with wild berries, violet, and crushed stone, finishing long and silky. A Barolo of grace and accessibility that outperforms its category by miles.

Reviewer:Monica Larner, Wine Advocate (Robert Parker)
Review:Do you have a favorite pair of jeans or a favorite dress that you keep in your closet for all occasions? That's the equivalent of this wine. The G.D. Vajra 2021 Barolo Albe is an enormously versatile expression of Nebbiolo, with an affordable price, that offers more value for your money than most Barolos out there. The bouquet focuses on dark berry, pressed flower and crushed stone. It offers good sharpness over broad lines. The mouthfeel is medium-plus in texture and it closes with silky, accessible tannins. Fruit comes from three cru sites: Coste di Vergne, Fossati and La Volta.
