"By now I have run out of superlatives for Vajra. Suffice it to say these are some of the finest, artisan wines being made in Piedmont today. At a time when prices for so many wines are skyrocketing out of control, Vajra's prices are a breath of fresh air." Antonio Galloni when describing the G.D. Vajra's Barolo. Albe is their "entry-level" Barolo, a delicious expression from a lesser-known part of Bricco delle Viole, blended along with vineyards that are declared by only three producers including one of our favorites Marco Marengo. There is nothing "entry-level" about this wine, showcasing the nuance, power and beauty about Barolo that sets it apart as one of the great wines in the world today. Elegant and gracious, don't miss the #9 selection in Wine Spectator's Top 10 of 2024!
"This effusive red displays cherry, raspberry, rose, iron, juniper and hay flavors, underscored by vibrant acidity. Harmonious and supple in texture, with a long aftertaste of red fruit, mineral and floral elements. Best from 2028 through 2049. #9 Top 10 of 2024." The Wine Spectator, 94 Points
"You can't beat this value. The G.D. Vajra 2020 Barolo Albe is buttoned up with fresh primary fruit, and the wine does not have that hint of over-ripeness that is found across this vintage. The fruit is dark and savory, and there is a big mineral component to match, but the bouquet is nicely redolent of dark currant, plum, granite and a raspy dry note that brings crushed shale to mind. The tannins are quite impactful, and they give this wine extra runway for moderate bottle aging." The Wine Advocate, 94 Points
