Hailing from "a superb vintage for Barolo," as Antonio Galloni describes it, Vajra's 2021 Barolo Albe is a surefire homerun that fans of the estate will love to have over the coming years. Always a reference point for the entry-level ornormaletier, the Albe is a widely admired go-to for those seeking ultra-classic Nebbiolo character without breaking the bank.
"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." - Monica Larner,Wine Advocate
Sourced from three high-altitude crus, Coste di Vergne, Fossati and La Volta, the 2021 Albe is a paragon of finesse and refinement, relying on precision and charm rather than power to make its case. Along with Monica Larner's strong 95-point review in Wine Advocate, noted Italian wine authoriy Kerin O'Keefe tags it with 94 points, calling the 2021 "a fantastic Barolo" for its clear varietal character and tense yet approachable structure. For hardcore Barolo fans, the most difficult part is always the waiting, but the 2021 Albe offers the opportunity to get your fix now and anytime over the next 15 years, at a price that makes it easy to load the cellar. |
