The 2020 GD Vajra Barolo Albe Magnum (1500ml) is a beautifully structured Barolo from the renowned G.D. Vajra estate in Piedmont. Sourced from high-altitude vineyards across the Barolo zone, Albe is celebrated for its balance, aromatic complexity and accessibility in youth while retaining classic Nebbiolo character. Aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petals and orange peel are layered with subtle spice, dried herbs and earthy notes.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, with vibrant acidity and finely structured tannins supporting flavours of red berries, sour cherry and savoury spice. The texture is elegant and persistent, leading to a long, dry finish that showcases both freshness and depth. The magnum format offers excellent conditions for slow, graceful ageing.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Barolo for both collectors and enthusiasts seeking a classic expression of Nebbiolo from one of Piedmont's most respected producers. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar over the next 15–20 years. Pairs beautifully with slow-braised beef, lamb shanks, truffle dishes, mushroom risotto and aged hard cheeses.
