The 2024 GD Vajra Barbera d'Alba is a vibrant and beautifully balanced red wine from Piedmont, produced by the highly regarded G.D. Vajra estate. Showcasing the classic character of Barbera, it offers expressive aromas of ripe cherry, blackberry, plum and violets, complemented by subtle spice and earthy undertones.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and energetic, with bright acidity supporting flavours of dark berries, black cherry and red plum. The texture is smooth and approachable, while the variety's natural freshness provides excellent balance through to a long, dry finish.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic example of Barbera d'Alba, combining juicy fruit, freshness and versatility at the table. Best enjoyed over the next 4–6 years while its vibrant character remains at its peak. Pairs beautifully with pasta dishes, wood-fired pizza, roast pork, charcuterie and grilled meats.
