Produced by the Vajra family from vineyards across three of Barolo's highest-elevation villages, Albe captures everything that makes Nebbiolo so compelling - perfume, structure, energy and longevity - while remaining approachable in its youth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2020 vintage opens with lifted aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal and orange peel, layered with hints of spice and crushed herbs. The palate is vibrant and finely detailed, balancing bright red fruit with savoury complexity, fine tannins and the freshness that has become a hallmark of G.D. Vajra's style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElegant rather than powerful, this is a beautifully composed Barolo that offers immediate enjoyment but will reward careful cellaring over the next decade and beyond.\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRegion:\u003c\/b\u003e Barolo, Piedmont, Italy\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVariety:\u003c\/b\u003e Nebbiolo\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage:\u003c\/b\u003e 2022\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eNose:\u003c\/b\u003e Red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, orange peel and sweet spice.\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePalate:\u003c\/b\u003e Bright red fruits, dried herbs and savoury complexity framed by fine, persistent tannins.\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish:\u003c\/b\u003e Long, lifted and beautifully balanced, with lingering floral and spice notes.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"G.D.

Vajra is one of Barolo's most quietly admired producers, run by the Vaira family from their base in Vergne, the highest village in the appellation. Their style sits in a graceful middle ground between traditional and modern, emphasising aromatic transparency, fine tannic detail and a strong sense of site. Ravera, in Novello, is one of the great south-facing crus on the western side of Barolo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 is aromatic and quietly absorbing. Tea, dried hibiscus, orange rind, sandalwood and pressed flowers lead the nose, with a transparent, ethereal feel rather than overt power.

Wild violets, hibiscus, geranium, red plum and wild strawberry sit at the front of a fragrant, lifted nose.
