With G.D. Vajra, all roads lead to pure, classic Langhe Nebbiolo, and Albe is the wine that proves the point at an approachable level. Albe (Italian for "dawns," named for the sunrises seen across its three high-altitude vineyard sources in the Barolo zone) is Vajra's village-level Barolo, made in a fresh, transparent, fragrant style from one of the appellation's finest producers. This 2010 comes from a celebrated, structured vintage and now has well over a decade of age, putting it in a mature, harmonious window. A back-vintage Barolo that's both serious and a joy to drink. From a private collection.

More about G.D. Vajra

G.D. Vajra traces back to 1968, when Aldo Vajra inherited his grandparents' farm in Vergne, the highest village in Barolo. He was a pioneer of organic viticulture in Piedmont—certified in 1971, decades before it became fashionable. His Langhe Nebbiolo showcases the grape at its most approachable, fermented naturally, aged in neutral oak.
