2020 Vajra Barolo Albe (750ml)

Nebbiolo from Barolo, Piedmont, Italy

B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

Agreed! It’s hard to overstate the incredible “quality to price ratio” of the stellar 94 pt. 2020 G.D. Vajra Barolo Albe, crafted by one of Piedmont’s most iconic producers and garnering critical acclaim across the board, its fresh, aromatic dark fruit redolent of classic floral notes and crushed stone with shimmering acidity and a lush tannic structure built for over a decade of enjoyment, now at exceptional private client pricing for savvy Barolo collectors to stock up by the case.

With a family history in the Piedmont dating back to the late 1800’s, the pioneering Aldo Vaira established GD Vajra in 1972, naming it after his father Giuseppe Domenico and boldly using the original spelling of the family’s name despite the letter “J” being banned from the Italian alphabet during dictator Mussolini’s tenure. Named for the sunrises (“albe” in Italian) visible from the estate’s high elevation sites, the 2020 Albe was sourced from across Vajra’s 40 hectares of organically certified vineyards, a blend of Barolo DOCG parcels with varied exposures ranging from south, southeast to southwest at elevations between 380 and 480 meters above sea level. After sorting the Nebbiolo grapes manually three times and vinifying them in custom-designed vertical tanks, the fresh and refined 2020 Vajra Barolo Albe was aged in a mix of different sized large Slavonian oak casks for 26 months, yielding a beautifully balanced Barolo that’s “all about sheer drinking pleasure” according to critic Kerin O’Keefe, already approachable and continuing to develop complexity and nuance as it matures gracefully in the cellar.

A richly textured, harmonious Barolo boasting “seductive appeal” according to Vinous critic Antonio Galloni, the enticing 94 pt. 2020 Vajra Barolo Albe reflects G.D. Vajra's expertise and signature style for crafting terroir expressive wines, declared “one of the greatest values to be found in Italian wine” by the Wine Advocate’s Monica Larner and unbeatably priced to enjoy over the next decade and beyond.

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. Best from 2028 through 2049.

94 points, Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator (Jul 2024)

#9 - Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2024

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.

94 points, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate (Apr 2024)

A ripe ruby hue, the 2020 Barolo Albe offers a beautiful bouquet of raspberries, fresh flowers, and delicate spice. Medium-bodied, it has a lot of elegance, with ripe and supple tannins and a bit of iron-rich earth. Drink 2024-2037.

93 points, Audrey Frick, Jeb Dunnuck (May 2024)

The nose is a harmonious blend of red fruits, featuring warmed cherries macerated in sweet and savory spices of cinnamon and clove. Dried raspberries and red currant add depth, while a distinct dried leaf and floral component entices. Vibrant cherry, cranberry, and strawberry stand tall on the palate, with thyme and bay leaf adding subtle herbaceous undertones that balance the flavors. Mouthwatering acidity keeps the wine lively, and approachable tannins allow you to enjoy this wine now and give you the tools to pair with a variety of cuisines. Drink Now - 2040

93 points, Jeff Porter, Wine Enthusiast (Sep 2024)

This is a bright and lively Barolo showing sliced oranges, raspberries, crushed stones and rose petals on the nose. Medium-bodied, with sharp acidity and tight tannins. Lots of energy. Try from 2027.

93 points, James Suckling (Feb 2024)
