A 100% Barbera red wine from Piedmont's Barbera d'Alba DOC. G.D. Vajra was founded in 1972 by Aldo Vajra. Fruit comes from six estate vineyards across Barolo, Novello and Sinio, at roughly 400 metres elevation. Hand-harvested grapes undergo about 20 days of fermentation in stainless steel, followed by at least 12 months of aging split evenly between stainless steel and French oak barrels. The nose opens with ripe red and black cherries, lavender, violets and rose petals, with rosehip, fresh herbs and warm baking spices. The palate is polished and fruit-driven, with sweet blackberry and red plum, clove, cinnamon, bright acidity and a crushed mineral quality. The finish is medium, with sour cherry, licorice and a faint earthy undertone.
