Varietal: Barbera Vintage: 2023

Producer: G.D. Vajra
Aldo Vaira describes his Barbera d’Alba as ‘A Barbera that behaves like a Barolo’. It comes predominantly from the oldest Barbera vines planted in 1949 by his great-grandfather, Carlo Vaira. The deeply rooted vines produce a wine brimming with energy, that is intense yet very elegant.
Vajra's Barbera d’Alba comes from grapes grown on ancient soils, traced to three different geological ages: Tortonian, Serravallian and Messinian. The resulting wine is refined and savoury, charming and complex
Tasting Notes:
The magnificent aromas of raspberry, redcurrant, and blackcurrant mingle with stone fruits and prune. The palate is dense and dynamic with enticing freshness and a long lingering finish.
Food Suggestion: Try with Cumberland sausages, lasagne or meaty fish dishes such as monkfish wrapped in Parma ham.
Closure: Natural Cork ABV: 14.5% Acidity [g/l]: 7
