G.D. Vajra Barolo 'Albe'
Regular price $47.99The Vajra family has farmed Bricco delle Viole, the highest cru in Comune di Barolo, since the 1880s. At the young age of fifteen, Aldo Vajra embraced the dream to revive his family legacy. Displaying a vision and commitment belying his young age he took over the estate in 1968, turning a new page.
Aldo soon acquired the first organic certification of the region (1971), created private biotype selections (selezioni massali) of Nebbiolo and Dolcetto, pioneered the renaissance of Freisa, a noble yet forgotten local grape (1980) and the cultivation of Rhine Riesling in Piemonte (1985).
Vajra's 'Albe' Barolo is a blend of multiple vineyards from their holdings, and is made in a tribute to the traditional style of Barolo. Aged for 24 months in large slavonian oak casks, this is still an approachable Barolo. Elegant and structured, with great notes of wild strawberry, raspberry, and dark cherry. Classic Barolo notes of orange rind, pressed flowers, crushed rocks, and rose petal show why Vajra is one of the most well known names in the Piedmont.
