Tasting Note Vajra Barolo Albe
Vajra Barolo Albe is a classic Barolo with an aromatic bouquet of red berries, raspberries, and blackberries, complemented by sweet spices and notes of rosehip. The palate is vibrant and complex, yet beautifully balanced, with signature soft tannins and an elegant, lingering finish.
Food Pairing
This Barolo from Vajra pairs perfectly with truffles, mushrooms, game dishes, red meat and stews, rib-eye, lamb, and aged cheeses, such as Parmesan. A quintessential dinner wine!
Other information
Aldo Vajra has always been a bit of a rebel. And a good thing too, as this trait led to this magnificent winery and its authentic wines. The story begins when Aldo, at age fifteen, is pulled off the street by his father during a demonstration in Turin and sent to his grandparents' farm. Aldo spends much of that summer in the vineyards, where his interest in winemaking is sparked. He joins Suole e Salute, an organization for organic wines in Italy. At just 18 years old, he produces his first organic wines in Piedmont.
The name "Albe" is a tribute to the magnificent wines from this region and refers to the position of the vineyards, from southeast to southwest, allowing the vines to be awakened three times by the rising sun. The variations in soil and location provide the wine with immense complexity and layers. The vineyards are situated at an altitude of approximately 380 to 480 meters. Large temperature differences between day and night ensure that the grapes ripen slowly and evenly.
