Barolo Albe, G. D. Vajra, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy, 2021

Grape: 100% Nebbiolo blended from 3 high altitude vineyards, sustainable farming, organic, hand picked, aged in large oak vats for 24 months.

Producer Tasting Note:

Garnet red colour with a lively core. The nose opens with fresh and crushed flowers, bright Nebbiolo aromatics and light balsamic notes. The mouth is vibrant and energetic, enriched by tones of rose petal, fresh red fruits, spices, tobacco and orange peel. Long, with fine and velvet tannins.

The 2021 vintage is set to provide some world class wines.

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"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." Drink 2025-2040

95/100 points, Monica Larner, WINE ADVOCATE, January 2025

"Violets with dried flowers and hints of blueberries and menthol. This has a juicy profile of fruit that complements a big tannin structure that concludes with a firm, tightly wound finish and just a touch of shy fruit. Approachable now, but best in 2026."

94/100 points, Jacobo Garcia & Andrade Llamas, JamesSuckling.com, January 2025

"The 2021 Barolo Albe is bright, aromatic and vibrant in the glass. Medium in body and super-refined, the 2021 is a delight. This is one of the more understated recent vintages I can remember tasting. It’s a terrific introduction to this range" Drink 2026-2033
