Drink it now or cellar for up to 25 years. It is recommended to decant it for an hour.
Run since 1972 by Aldo Vaira, supported by his wife Milena, the G.D. Vajra is a company characterized by the excellent quality of the wines and the great love for the vines. The company vinifies its wines made from the typical Piedmontese grapes sourced from its vineyards distributed over about 40 hectares and located at an altitude between 350 and 480 m. above sea level.
Barolo Albe is produced with Nebbiolo grapes from the three vineyards Coste di Vergne, Fossati, and La Volta, located in the hamlet of Vergne, in the highest altitude part of the municipality of Barolo. Here the plants enjoy a sunny climate during the day which favors full ripening, and a marked sudden change in temperature at night which guarantees the development of an excellent acid vein. The wine ages for 36 months in Slavonian oak barrels before being bottled.
Thanks to the diversity between the three sites, this Barolo Albe demonstrates an exceptional balance of red fruit and plum aromas, flowers, pine needles, and a finish reminiscent of undergrowth. On the palate, the wine is harmonious and sophisticated with elegant acidity and ripe tannins. It is a wine of distinctive character that can be tasted now in combination with game meat or aged cheeses or it can be left in the cellar for a couple of decades.

G.D. Vajra Barolo Albe 2021
overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
