2021 GD Vajra Barolo Albe

Product information A tribute to the masters of tradition, Albe is a blend of three high-elevation estate vineyards from Comune di Barolo: Fossati, Coste di Vergne and La Volta. They lay on three different slopes on the same hill, thus our chance to see three sunrises (Albe) every day. The high-elevation vineyards for Barolo Albe are usually picked in the second half of Nebbiolo harvest. Vinification is made in custom-designed vertical tini, with gentle punch down and rinsing of the cap. Maceration lasts 25-30 days on average. Malolactic in held in stainless steel, the following spring. Albe rests between 26 and 32 months, on average, in large Slavonian oak casks of 40, 50 and 75hL. The wine is usually raked once a year. Blending is decided in the spring prior to bottling. Albe has an amazing scent of macerated Nebbiolo pomace, cranberries and raspberries. Infused rose petals, sweet red fruits and a hint of black figs, complete its wide and elegant bouquet. So authentic and yet express
