Product Information
An absolute stunner of a wine, and one of our favourite wines from Piedmont. It has vibrant fruit for instant gratification and the potential to age for 15 years. Within the realm of Barolo wines, Albe gracefully occupies its own special corner. It's not just a label; it's a distinctive brand that embodies versatility, approachability, and remarkable affordability, setting it apart as one of the appellation's standout gems. Founded in 1972 by Guiseppe Domenico Vajra, affectionately known as GD Vajra, this winery calls the highest village of Barolo in north-western Italy home. Nestled at an impressive 400-meter altitude, their vineyards are a testament to the family's commitment to crafting exceptional wines from their own grapes. Today, the reins of this 40-hectare vineyard and winery are firmly in the hands of Vajra's son, Aldo, and his dedicated family. Thanks to the undeniable appeal of these wines, the village of Barolo has earned its place on the global wine map, captivating wine enthusiasts far and wide.
