Note di degustazione
The 2016 Barbera d'Alba is another stellar wine from Vajra. Plump and explosive on the palate, with superb overall depth, the 2016 captures all the personality of the year with its tremendous richness and resonance. A rush of dark plum, leather, smoke, licorice and incense builds as this flamboyant Barbera shows off its curvy personality.

Bonfire smoke, black cherry, tight tannins and mouth-watering acidity. Very serious in style, with an almost severe edge to the savoury notes. Plenty of alcohol on the finish. Captures the origin authentically, and would be a great – indeed necessary – partner to hearty food. (RH)
This is a dark and nicely balanced wine to drink with hearty pasta dishes topped with grated cheese and meat ragù. The 2016 Barbera d'Alba is a terrific food wine with bright acidity and saline, almost salty flavor qualities. All of this makes your mouth water. Fruity tones of black cherry and dried blackberry wrap thickly over the palate. Fruit is sourced from six vineyard sites and blended here. Give this wine another six months of bottle time before popping the cork.
