G D Vajra Albe Barolo DOCG

In a Nutshell

Classic Barolo of great finesse.

Tasting Notes

This wine is a ruby red colour, with aromas of red fruits and plums combining with floral notes, pine needles and brushwood. 'Le Albe' is full of sophisticated and delicate flavours supported by ripe tannins and an elegant acidity.

Production Notes

The grapes were hand picked and hand sorted in the second and third week of October. Fermentation, with indigenous yeasts, and maceration lasted 20 days at temperatures not exceeding 32ºC with traditional punch downs. Malolactic fermentation followed in 25-50 hectolitre Slavonian oak casks. The wine remained in oak for a total of 42 months before bottling.
