GD Vajra Barbera d'Alba, 2023

Italy, (Alba DOC)

100% Barbera d"Alba

15.0%

 

From The Winemaker: "Our Barbera d’Alba is a blend of estate vineyards growing on a wide range of terroirs. We carry a long and gentle maceration followed by a delicate aging so to express the fragrance and perfumes of this fruit with integrity."

 

TASTING NOTES:  The nose is vibrant and combines vivid red and black fruits with sweet spices and aromatic herbs. Hints of anise and graphite add complexity to the wine. The palate is succulent and incredibly layered, yet bright with elegant acidity, strawberries, cherries, a whiffle of white pepper and a mineral long finish. 

 

FOOD PAIRINGS: This wine pairs exceptionally with various dishes, including egg pasta, pizza, white and red meats, and vegetable-centric preparations.
