Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, dry
G.D. Vajra's Barbera d'Alba comes from the family's vineyards around Barolo and the Alba hills. It is vibrant and juicy: dark cherry and blackberry with a violet lift and a touch of spice, carried by the variety's signature high acidity and low tannin. Made for early, generous drinking at the table, though good vintages hold well for several years.
Serving: Serve at 15–17 °C.
