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.

Although a good variety of wines, i ordered a 2016 Saint emillion and i received a 2017 one from the same chateau. It was wrong information on the stock availability on the website. I contacted them and they accepted to correct the mistake and offerrede alternatives of different wines or refund and picking up the wonrgly delivered bottle. As a first experience it was not one of the most positive but again these things can happen
