2020 G.D Vajra Barolo Albe

The 'Albe' is Giuseppe Vaira's tip of the cap to the great Piemontese winemakers of the 1950s and 1960s.

During those times, the general philosophy for many of the winemakers in the region was to combine Nebbiolo from the best Cru vineyards in order to create a more 'complete' wine. Today, single vineyard bottlings have become much more in vogue, however, there's still a place for a truly great blend.

'Albe' is blended from multiple higher elevation Barolo vineyards with exposures that range from south-south-east to south-west.

It's a regal, powerful wine that has balance placed at a premium.
