G.D. Vajra Barolo Albe 2020
#9 Wine of the Year, Wine Spectator Top 100 – 2024
94 Points, Wine Spectator – 94 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate
“You can’t beat this value. The G.D. Vajra 2020 Barolo Albe is buttoned up with fresh primary fruit, and the wine does not have that hint of over-ripeness that is found across this vintage. The fruit is dark and savory, and there is a big mineral component to match, but the bouquet is nicely redolent of dark currant, plum, granite and a raspy dry note that brings crushed shale to mind. The tannins are quite impactful, and they give this wine extra runway for moderate bottle aging.”
Original price was: $45.00.$39.00Current price is: $39.00.

“This effusive red displays cherry, raspberry, rose, iron, juniper and hay flavors, underscored by vibrant acidity. Harmonious and supple in texture, with a long aftertaste of red fruit, mineral and floral elements…”

G.D. Vajra is one of Piedmont’s finest – a producer who has built up a reputation for making some of the very best and most reliable Barolo and Barbaresco.
The Vajra story was born with Aldo Vaira – a rambunctious teenager who was sent to Barolo to be with his grandparents to try to calm him down. What it did was spark an insatiable appetite for wine growing and winemaking. The rest as they say is history.
They were the first estate in the region to earn organic certification and have been blazing the path for decades and decades in terms of sustainable farming. They were also the first to plant Riesling in Langhe – a craze that has taken over the region especially of late. Always the innovator, always delivering exceptional quality. That’s what you can expect with these wines. I’m not surprised by the Wine Spectator Top 10 nod.
