GD Vajra Barolo Albe 2020
The 2020 Barolo Albe shows an expressive nose with aromas of fresh cherries, crushed stones and roses. The mouthfeel is bright and energetic,with generous mouthfeel and a youthful tannic structure enriched by notes of raspberry and orange zest. Long, textural finish.
Nose: The aroma is captivating, showcasing a harmonious blend of red fruits. Warmed cherries, macerated in sweet and savory spices like cinnamon and clove, take center stage. Dried raspberries and red currants add depth, while a distinct dried leaf and floral component entice the senses.
Palate: The palate is vibrant and lively, with flavors of cherry, cranberry, and strawberry dominating. Subtle herbaceous undertones of thyme and bay leaf balance the fruitiness. Mouthwatering acidity keeps the wine fresh and energetic, while approachable tannins ensure a smooth and enjoyable drinking experience.
Finish: The finish is long and textural, with lingering notes of red fruit, mineral, and floral elements. The tannins provide a structured foundation, promising further development with aging.
Pairing
Roasted Meats: The wine's robust structure and tannins complement the richness of roasted meats like beef, lamb, or venison.
Pasta Dishes: Consider pairing it with hearty pasta dishes like pappardelle with wild boar ragu or tagliatelle with truffle sauce.
Aged Cheeses: The wine's acidity and tannins can cut through the richness of aged cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano or Pecorino Romano.

This is a bright and lively Barolo showing sliced oranges, raspberries, crushed stones and rose petals on the nose. Medium-bodied, with sharp acidity and tight tannins. Lots of energy. Try from 2027.

A ripe ruby hue, the 2020 Barolo Albe offers a beautiful bouquet of raspberries, fresh flowers, and delicate spice. Medium-bodied, it has a lot of elegance, with ripe and supple tannins and a bit of iron-rich earth. Drink 2024-2037.
History
G.D. Vajra is a renowned Italian winery located in the heart of the Piedmont region, specifically in the Barolo area. Established in 1972 by Aldo Vajra, the winery has a rich history rooted in the family's long-standing connection to the land.
There is no vineyard, no terroir, without the land. To love it is simple, but not easy. The land is generous and alive. It is beautiful. It needs understanding and time. It takes your breath away with its colors and many wonders.
The land asks for absolute dedication. It asks to be loved for better or worse, in abundance and scarcity. The land is almost more than a house. It's part of our life and asks to be guarded with the same tenderness that we have for our loved ones. And the amazing thing is that, despite all the difficulties, to love it does not need any effort.
