G.D. Vajra Barolo Albe 2021
Last Year’s #9 Wine of the Year, Wine Spectator Top 100 – 2024
This year: 95 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate
“Do you have a favorite pair of jeans or a favorite dress that you keep in your closet for all occasions? That’s the equivalent of this wine. The G.D. Vajra 2021 Barolo Albe is an enormously versatile expression of Nebbiolo, with an affordable price, that offers more value for your money than most Barolos out there. The bouquet focuses on dark berry, pressed flower and crushed stone. It offers good sharpness over broad lines. The mouthfeel is medium-plus in texture and it closes with silky, accessible tannins. Fruit comes from three cru sites: Coste di Vergne, Fossati and La Volta.”

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 last year’s Wine Spectator Top 10 nod. And I’m not surprised that this one is better, either!
