The Vajra Barbera d'Alba DOC is an expressive red wine from Piedmont. It comes from the high-altitude vineyards of the traditional G.D. Vajra winery, which has been a pioneer in organic viticulture since the 1970s. The grapes for this wine grow on different, sustainably cultivated terroirs - a diversity that gives the wine depth and complexity.
Vinification is carried out with great care: the hand-picked Barbera grapes are fermented parcel by parcel, with long maceration times of up to 28 days. Traditional methods such as the "submerged cap" process are used to gently extract the fine aromas from the grape skins. The wine is then matured for around five months in stainless steel tanks to preserve its fresh, fruity style and to bring out the typical varietal notes perfectly.
In the glass, the Vajra Barbera d'Alba is a bright purple red. An intense aroma of red berries, fresh plums and floral hints of roses unfolds on the nose. It is juicy and lively on the palate, with notes of sweet cherry, dark berries and a hint of spice. The structure is harmonious, the fruit clearly defined, the finish elegant and aromatic - a typical representative of the Barbera grape variety, both accessible and complex.
This Barbera is a versatile accompaniment to food. It goes particularly well with hearty Italian dishes such as pasta with salsiccia, lasagne, grilled vegetables or mature pecorino. It also unfolds its full potential with game birds or roasted veal. The ideal drinking temperature is 16-18 °C.
