Vajra - Barolo 'Albe' 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Vajra family has farmed Bricco delle Viole, the highest cru in Comune di Barolo, since the 1880s. At the young age of fifteen, Aldo Vajra embraced the dream to revive his family legacy. Displaying a vision and commitment belying his young age he took over the estate in 1968, turning a new page. Aldo soon acquired the first organic certification of the region (1971), created private biotype selections (selezioni massali) of Nebbiolo and Dolcetto, pioneered the renaissance of Freisa, a noble yet forgotten local grape (1980) and the cultivation of Rhine Riesling in Piemonte (1985). ­\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, the family has 40 Ha under vine. The estate is steeped in tradition. Barolos are macerated for 20 to 30 days depending on the vintage. Wines are typically matured in large neutral Slavonian casks. The holdings in Bricco delle Viole are the prized vineyards of the estate, planted in 1949 by Aldo’s grandfather. It’s a very fresh terroir with open exposure and breezy conditions. Holdings in Barolo commune are: Fossati, Coste de Vergne and La Volta. Recently acquired vineyards in the commune of Sino (just outside Barolo DOCG, next to Serralunga) make a gorgeous Langhe Nebbiolo. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh elevation vineyards are a unique factor to Vajra wines, allowing them to express finesse and remarkable complexity over simple power. Attention to detail and humility toward nature, uncompromised efforts and humanity, these are the ideals of the Vajra family: Aldo and Milena, now joined by their children Giuseppe, Francesca and Isidoro, and by an amazing team of young professionals. G.D. Vajra is an independent winery, entirely family-owned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlbe rests on average between 30 and 36 months in Slavonian oak casks of large capacity: 40, 50 and 75hL. The wine is usually racked once a year. Blending is decided in the spring prior to bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"That's the equivalent of this wine. The G.D. Vajra 2021 Barolo Albe is an enormously versatile expression of Nebbiolo, with an affordable price, that offers more value for your money than most Barolos out there. The bouquet focuses on dark berry, pressed flower and crushed stone. It offers good sharpness over broad lines. The mouthfeel is medium-plus in texture and it closes with silky, accessible tannins. Fruit comes from three cru sites: Coste di Vergne, Fossati and La Volta.\" - 95 Points, Wine Advocate\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"This multi-MGA Barolo is made from the estate's younger vines, although the average age is a respectable 30 years. Winemaker Giuseppe Vaira calls it a \"blend with immediate drinkability\". Indeed, it is already irresistible with its emerging and lively aromas of peppery strawberries, dried violets and crushed allspice. On the palate it is silky and refined, with a clarity of crisp red fruits. The multi-layered tannins support it without overpowering it - it is very seamlessly blended.

An enterprising, tenacious, and creative man, Giovanni was the very first person to bring electricity to the village. Giovanni’s son, Giuseppe, built Massolino’s first wine cellar, extended the estate into the best soils, and in 1934 founded the Consortium for the Defence of Barolo and Barbaresco. Three of Giovanni’s children later followed in his footsteps, expanding the estate with the purchase of cru vineyards which are authentic jewels: Margheria, Parafada, and Vigna Rionda. In the 1990s, Franco and Roberto, both oenologists, joined the family estate. Their work condenses the experience of an entire family and the ambition of a new generation, determined to make an important contribution to the innovation of oenological and agronomical techniques and to the image of the estate in Italy and abroad. Massolino makes wine with passion in its land of origin, preserving the typical characteristics of indigenous grape varieties.

This Burgundian training is evident in his vines, which are grown organically with no pesticides or herbicides. His wines reflect terroir first and foremost. And what terroir!

If Monvigliero is recognised for its particular elegance, the interpretation at GB Burlotto adds depth and consistency to it. The harvest, which in Monvigliero is rather early, 'has been brought forward almost one month in 2017,' according to Alessandria. 'We finished picking the Nebbiolo on 31 September.' In this vintage he preferred selected yeast over indigenous yeast due to the heat and the potential alcohol. He fermented the wine in Slavonian oak vessels without destemming and let the malolactic conversion occur spontaneously, still in oak. It has a crystalline purity on the nose of peony, orange peel and red berries, embellished with cinnamon and rhubarb flavoured boiled sweets. Fleshy and earthy strawberry flavours are joined by lavish, almost silky, tannins of great volume on the mid-palate, and lifted acidity that will keep it going strong for decades.\" 98 points, Decanter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The aromas alone will stop you in your tracks thanks to a compelling combination of pressed rose, crushed mint, pine forest and a whiff of woodland berries.

This whole-cluster wine is elegant from all sides no matter how you approach it. To the bouquet, it offers smooth berry and spice, with lots of blue flower, dried lavender and lilac. A second aromatic layer centers on dry stone, limestone and some crushed white pepper. To the palate, it shows fine but tight tannins that are still nervous, like a closed fist. What I find most interesting about this warm-vintage expression from Monvigliero is that although the floral imprint is intact, the bouquet is broad enough to make room for spice, cherry and grilled herb.

Giacomo was understandably proud of their local specialty and made it his life’s mission to create a wine that could compete with the world’s finest. Believing in this grape’s inherent potential for greatness, Giacomo ventured to produce a “Super Barbera”, vinifying the grapes into a quality wine and maturing it subsequently in French barriques, a practice unknown to most at that time. He succeeded three times over, first with Bricco dell’Uccellone, the flagship wine of the company, which has now become one of the world’s famous Italian wines, with verticals of more than a dozen vintages frequently appearing on fine restaurant wine lists.  Soon after were added “Bricco della Bigotta” a complementary single-vineyard Barbera, along with “Ai Suma”, a then-unprecedented late harvest of Barbera, which has been produced only in the most suitable years since 1989.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRafaella and Giuseppe Bologna (named for his ancestor), both oenologists, are the third “Braida” generation and are united by Giacomo's initial dream to elevate the Barbera grape into a noble status which is often reserved only for international varieties. Braida produces high quality wines through the selection of suitable sites and use of state-of-the-art winemaking and bottling techniques, including the practice of sustainable viticulture and production. The winery produces 600,000 bottles per year. The vineyards lie in beautiful hills with south-eastern exposure from 150m to 500m above sea level. There is a wide range of temperatures and soil types - medium-heavy texture with sand and clay in Rocchetta Tanaro, Castelnuovo Calcea for their top quality Barbera, and clay and calcareous soil in Mango d’Alba for their sweet wines Brachetto and Moscato d’Asti.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% Moscato Bianco\u003cspan\u003e, fermented i\u003c\/span\u003en pressurized tanks at controlled temperature for about 20 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“A near flawless combination of fresh and vivid aromas of white peach and green apples, this Moscato d’Asti shines with backing notes of mint and lemongrass.

These are deep, complex, and structured wines that are built to age and handsomely reward cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heart of the Roagna estate is its six and a half hectares of vineyards in the commune of Barbaresco, most of these lying in the cru of Pajè. From the Pajè vineyard, the Roagna family now makes three distinct cuvées, a Barbaresco “normale” labeled as Barbaresco “Pajè,” a Barbaresco Paje Vecchie Vite and “Crichët Pajè\" - made from the crest of the Paje cru. In 1989 the family’s long-held aspirations of owning top-level crus in Barolo comparable to their Pajè holdings in Barbaresco came true when they purchased a parcel historically known as La Rocche e La Pira, in the fabled village of Castiglione Falletto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vinification techniques at Roagna are still traditional though Luca has made noteworthy improvements and changes to the process. The fermentations are in cask and the macerations have gone from around thirty days to, on average, 60-90 days. The aging regimen depends a bit on the cru and vintage but goes from 2-3 years to sometimes 8-10 and as much as 15-16 years for the Riserva. Luca has also switched all of their oak to the highest quality French oak 10cm thick – twice the thickness of a standard cask. These casks allow for a very slow micro-oxygenation which adds to the elegance of the finished wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermentation lasts ten days in large wood casks. They ferment with a pied de cuvee made from their indigenous yeasts. They then use the technique of submerged cap -- which can last 70-90 days. The wine is then aged in large neutral French botti. The oak Luca uses is never toasted but instead made by using hot steam instead of flame. The wine is normally aged for five years in wood before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“The 2019 Barolo Pira Vecchie Viti is one of the most profoundly riveting, beautiful wines I have ever tasted here. Interestingly, this is more open than the straight Pira because of its inner perfume and sweetness. Hard candy, rose petals, mint, orange peel and kirsch all race across the palate. The 2019 is just dazzling. There's not much to say.” - 99 Points, Vinous\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Aromas of cardamom and white pepper are an ideal foil for this red's strawberry, cherry, floral, mineral and eucalyptus flavors. Though linear in profile, this builds in intensity to the long, kaleidoscopic aftertaste. Still a touch austere yet almost creamy in texture, this needs another three to five years to open up. Best from 2028 through 2047.” - 98 Points, Wine Spectator\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“The Roagna 2019 Barolo Pira Vecchie Viti comes from a 1.5-hectare plot with vines planted in 1937. Part of the vineyard is on its original roots, and some of the ungrafted vines were reproduced by using the shoots of a mother vine buried underground, thus creating a new plant. The site tends to be among the last to harvest in October. This is an incredible expression of Nebbiolo, fluid and luminous. It changes constantly with delicate swirls. However, you also feel the power and intensity of a concentrated vintage. The bouquet opens to a hint of something botanical with flowers and fresh mint that give enormous vertical lift to the wine. Luca Roagna tells me that wild mint does in fact grow throughout the vineyard, and when he drives his tractor through the rows, he is reminded of an exotic mojito cocktail.” - 98 Points, Wine Advocate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Roagna\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion: \u003c\/strong\u003ePiedmont\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal: \u003c\/strong\u003eNebbiolo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barolo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2019\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SGWS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43858738512008,"sku":null,"price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0349\/2239\/7832\/files\/Photoroom_20260302_122349-Photoroom.jpg?v=1772482973"},{"product_id":"giovanni-rosso-ester-canale-barolo-vigna-rionda-2021","title":"Giovanni Rosso Ester Canale - Barolo 'Vigna Rionda' 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003eFollowing the death of Tommasino Canale, Davide Rosso decided to replace a large part of the old vines that became by that time \"exhausted\" (about 0.80 hectares) preserving the part of the vineyard planted in 1946 (over 0.40 hectares).

The other producers decided to replant and get rid of the old vines, but Davide had a different, wonderful idea. He kept a small section of the original vines at the top of the Rionda hill and used it for massal selection of the new plantings and also to make a Barolo Vigna Rionda.

The wine moves with such ethereal grace it nearly brings tears to the eyes.

The beginning of their family history is lost in time and Luigi never precisely knew whether his ancestors gave their name to the place or took their name from it.  It was thanks to Fiorina’s love and encouragement that the two decided to stop selling their family’s grapes to cooperatives and to start producing their own estate wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Baudanas and the Vairas (of G.D. Vajra fame) met in 2008, at a time Luigi and Fiorina were considering retirement.  It was a very secretive first meeting across the Tanaro river on a silent Monday night.  Many more discrete encounters followed throughout the summer while walking vineyards and barrel-tasting together. The sympathy and human bond that was established over those many hours led the Vaira family to suggest they could become the ‘guardians’ of Luigi and Fiorina’s history rather than just taking over their land.  This is why the old cellar is still operating today, to vinify and age the Baudana Barolos. The Baudana name lives on through each bottle. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs of the 2009 vintage, the Vaira family has been at the helm of Baudana’s mere 4.1 hectares—2.6 of which are Barolo, 1.5 of which are Langhe Bianco.  Through impeccable farming (always organic, with certification as of the 2019 vintage), keen interpretation of vintage, and a gentle, slow, traditional approach in the tiny cellar (open-top fermentations, long \u003ci\u003ecappello sommerso\u003c\/i\u003e macerations), the Vairas are able to highlight the nuances of the Baudana and Cerretta \u003ci\u003ecrus\u003c\/i\u003e, which despite being adjacent to one another, can offer fascinating differences in the glass. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuigi Baudana is a true garagiste production, one of the most limited in the entire Barolo region, and expresses the austere, intense, and charming character of Serralunga d’Alba.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the history of Barolo, before the prevalence of single-\u003ci\u003ecru\u003c\/i\u003e bottlings, it was more common to blend fruit from sites of differing exposure, altitude, and soil type in order to obtain a more expressive and balanced wine.  Baudana's Barolo Serralunga combines fruit from the younger vines (planted 1990) of the Cerretta and Baudana \u003ci\u003ecrus\u003c\/i\u003e and, more recently, adds fruit from a small parcel in the \u003ci\u003ecru\u003c\/i\u003e of Costabella, just next to Baudana.

Founded in 1900 by a Venetian dreamer, Scarpa bloomed under Mario Pesce post-WWII, turning heads with elegant, age-worthy reds. Today, Scarpa’s style is as classic as a cashmere coat: slow fermentations, giant oak casks (botti grandi), and a library of vintage Barbera that dates back decades. At the heart of it all is La Bogliona, the flagship Barbera d’Asti that ages like a Barolo and drinks like royalty. But don’t stop there—Scarpa crafts Barolo and Barbaresco too, from vineyards in top crus like Monvigliero and Roncaglie, despite not being based in the Langhe. A revivalist at heart, Scarpa also brought back its early-1900s vermouth line, now a benchmark in the Vermouth di Torino DOC. And while the wines are patient, the people are passionate—led by winemaker Silvio Trinchero, whose respect for tradition is only rivaled by his curiosity for lesser-known grapes like Ruchè and Pelaverga.

After completing studies in management and biology, and fresh off an inspiring trip to Burgundy where she truly began forming her palate, Giulia returned to La Morra motivated to learn all the secrets to making fine wine in her native Piemonte. She started small, releasing microcuvées under her own label, before finally taking over the totality of vineyard management and production in 2014.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the heart of the Serradenari cru of La Morra—the highest point in the Barolo zone, with vineyards culminating at 536 meters above sea level—Giulia passionately pursues her goal of crafting Barolo with a Burgundian sensibility.

The elevation, coupled with a complex mosaic of soils unique to this part of the Langhe, sets the stage for Giulia to create Barolos marrying delicate floral aromas and elegant fruit with a deep mineral foundation. With fine-grained, tightly knit tannins, her seductive wines charm in their youth but have the structure for serious bottle aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpon Giulia’s arrival at the helm of the estate, the modest cellar was filled with small Burgundian barriques. After tasting all around the Langhe and learning from some of Barolo’s most distinguished growers, it quickly became clear that large casks were key to preserving Nebbiolo’s tension and mystical energy. With the goal of maximizing an honest expression of terroir, she has gradually replaced the smaller barrels with botti grandi. Her artisanal approach and espousal of traditional production methods extends to sustainable viticulture, eschewal of commercial yeasts and other additives, harvesting by hand, minimizing filtration, and long but gentle macerations in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBarologirl, as she has become known, may still be the new kid on the block in La Morra, but tasting her wines reveals a fine touch and devout respect for tradition that already places her wines among the region’s classics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSouthwestern exposition at 520 meters (1,706 feet) above sea level.
