Tasting Note

Ruby red in colour, this wine opens with intense perfumes of plums and dark chocolate. On the palate, it has great concentration and intensity, especially on the mid-palate, with smoky, damson fruit and lovely balance between supple tannins and youthful acidity.

Product Notes

G.D. Vajra Barbera d'Alba Superiore is a classic Piedmontese red wine produced by G.D. Vajra winery located in Barolo. Made from 100% Barbera grapes, the wine undergoes a meticulous fermentation process with maceration on the skins for up to two weeks and aged in oak barrels for over a year. Its intense ruby color and fragrant aromas of cherries, blackberries, and spices lead to a palate with complex flavors of dark fruit, vanilla, and a hint of tobacco. The wine has a notable balance between its acidity, tannins, and fruitiness, making it an excellent companion for hearty meat dishes and aged cheeses.
