The Vajra Barolo Albe DOCG is a stylish homage to the traditional Barolo style and the great masters ("maestri") of this world-famous wine region. The cuvée comes from high-altitude vineyards in the heart of Piedmont - sites located at 380 to 480 meters above sea level and with their different exposures (south-east to south-west) bring impressive complexity to the wine. The name "Albe" (plural of alba, Italian for "dawn") refers to the three sunrises that can be experienced there - a symbol of light, diversity and depth.

The G.D. Vajra winery is one of the pioneers of organic viticulture in the Barolo region. Aldo Vajra switched to sustainable and organic farming back in 1971 - long before it became a trend. The vineyards are kept healthy in a natural way through greening and natural biodiversity. Intensive manual work, continuous research and the deliberate avoidance of standardized cellar techniques make Barolo Albe an authentic and lively wine.

The grapes are carefully harvested by hand and selected three times - directly on the vine, as whole bunches and again as individual berries. Vinification is traditional, with long maceration periods of 30 to 61 days in specially designed vertical fermentation tanks. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation in stainless steel and 24 months of ageing in large Slavonian oak barrels give the wine structure, balance and longevity. Bottling only takes place after an extended ageing period to ensure maximum expressiveness.

In the glass, the Vajra Barolo Albe is a clear garnet red with a bright core. The nose is dominated by fresh floral notes - rose petals, violets - accompanied by typical Nebbiolo aromas and fine balsamic nuances. On the palate, the wine is lively, precise and energetic, with elegant tannins and aromas of bright red fruits, ripe cherries and delicate spice. A Barolo that is already accessible when young, but also has great ageing potential.

Barolo Albe is an excellent accompaniment to braised beef, game dishes, truffle pasta or strong mushroom risottos. It also unfolds its full elegance with mature hard cheese or roast lamb.
Enjoy it at a drinking temperature of around 18 °C to allow its aromatic depth and fine structure to develop to the full.

Michele Chiarlo Tortoniano Nebbiolo Barolo DOCG

Seit 1956 steht Michele Chiarlo für hochwertigen Weinbau im Piemont. Die internationale Weinkritik verleiht den Kreationen des norditalienischen Familienweingutes immer wieder Höchstnoten. Der Michele Chiarlo Tortoniano Nebbiolo Barolo ist ein wunderbares Beispiel für diese hohe Qualität.Der Rotwein von Michele Chiarlo schimmert im Glas in einem mittleren rubinrot. Das Bukett des Tortoniano Nebbiolo Barolo ist herrlich facettenreich. Noten von roten Früchten, Rosenblättern und Wacholderbeeren harmonieren wunderbar mit einer feinen Würze und Nuancen von Röstaromen. „Erdig und köstlich, öffnet sich mit Aromen von reifen dunkelhäutigen Beeren, neuem Leder, Trüffel und gerebelten botanischen Kräutern“, urteilt Kerin O’Keefe, die im Wine Enthusiast 95 Punkte vergibt. James Suckling gibt dem Michele Chiarlo Tortoniano Nebbiolo Barolo 93 Punkte: „Reif und üppig, mit Johannisbeeren, Pflaumen und Gewürzen sowie Schokoladencharakter.“Am Gaumen ist der reinsortige Nebbiolo aus dem Piemont üppig, mit guter Struktur und seidigen Tanninen, die dem jungen Barolo schon jetzt eine große Harmonie verleihen. Auch hier herrlich fruchtbetont: rote Pflaumen und Kirschen ergeben mit den samtigen Tanninen ein schönes Zusammenspiel, dazu kommen abrundende Noten von Brotkrusten und Karamell. O’Keefe schreibt von Aromen von Schwarzkirsche, reifer Himbeere und Tabak sowie einem Hauch von Wild neben dichten, samtigen Tanninen.Auch in Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate gibt es 93 Punkte für den Barolo Tortoniano 2016, „ein zugänglicher und aufstrebender Wein, der Ihnen die Komplexität und Nuancen der Nebbiolo-Traube zeigt mit einer fruchtbetonten und ,food-friendly‘ Persönlichkeit.“Das Weingut Michele Chiarlo wird auch wegen seiner Pionierarbeit im Piemont so hoch geschätzt. Die Minderung der Pro-Stock-Erträge und das spätere Ernten der Trauben für eine ideale Reife waren Maßnahmen, die das Familienweingut bereits in den 1980er-Jahren umsetzte.Der Jahrgang 2016, schreibt Winemaker Stefano Chiarlo, wird für seine außergewöhnliche Qualität in Erinnerung bleiben. Zwei Jahre reifte der Michele Chiarlo Tortoniano Nebbiolo Barolo in großen Eichenholzfässern. Genießen Sie diesen italienischen Rotwein bei einer Trinktemperatur von 17-18 Grad.
