Azienda Agricola G.D. Vajra - Piazza della Vite e del Vino, 1 - Fraz. Vergne 12060 Barolo (CN)
Albe is the caress of the sun that rises every morning over the vineyards of this Barolo. It is the exceptional simplicity of Nature that makes possible the daily miracle of life awakening. With these beautiful words, Milena Vaira describes this extraordinary bottle. Barolo DOCG, a wine that perfectly embodies the elegance and power of this noble territory. Grapes harvested in the hamlet of Vergne, 380 metres above sea level, on clay soils facing south-east and south-west. Here, a particular microclimate, characterised by significant temperature variations between day and night, promotes optimal ripening of the grapes, giving the wine structure and complexity. 100% Nebbiolo, after manual harvesting, the grapes are pressed in vertical steel vats to start alcoholic fermentation, which lasts for 30-40 days, with maceration on the skins. In spring, the wine undergoes spontaneous malolactic fermentation and is then aged for between 18 and 36 months in large Slavonian oak barrels. Transparent ruby colour with garnet reflections, the nose is reminiscent of violets, dog roses, cloves and cinnamon, combined with intense notes of dark jam, resin and blond tobacco. On the palate, it captivates with its harmony, freshness and elegance. A complex and long-lived wine that offers an unforgettable sensory experience.
