From the highly respected G.D. Vajra estate in Piedmont, the Barolo “Albe” is a classic, terroir-driven expression of Nebbiolo that blends fruit from high-elevation vineyards across the Barolo zone. The name “Albe,” meaning “sunrises,” refers to the three different vineyard exposures that receive morning light, contributing to the wine’s balance and complexity.

This Barolo opens with vibrant aromas of red cherry, raspberry, rose petal, and orange zest, layered with hints of spice, crushed stone, and earthy undertones. On the palate, it is medium-to-full bodied with bright acidity, refined tannins, and a lifted, energetic structure that leads to a long, elegant finish marked by red fruit, mineral, and floral notes.

Approachable earlier than many traditional Barolos yet still age-worthy, it pairs beautifully with braised meats, roasted lamb, mushroom dishes, truffle pasta, or aged cheeses — a benchmark, high-value Barolo that delivers both authenticity and finesse.
