Brand: G. D. Vajra
Grapes: Barbera
Vintage: 2023
ABV: 14%
Who/What/How:
- The Vajra family are based in the village of Vergne, which sits just above the town of Barolo. They have 10 hectares of vines in the actual Barolo region, but this particular wine comes from just outside this area. The wine is 100% Barbera - a wonderfully light and fresh grape variety that is much loved by the local Piedmontese people.
Taste:
- G. D. Vajra Barbera d'Alba is a lively purple colour and the wine is equally lively. It has a fresh nose of red berries, rose and fresh plums. Then, the palate brings a lovely pang of acidity with crisp and juicy layers of sweet red and black cherries, warming spiced notes and blackberries.
