Aldo Vaira’s wines are characterised by pristine flavours and clearly defined perfumes. These characters are attributable to the position of his vineyards at about 400 metres above sea level in the village of Vergne in the commune of Barolo. The grapes for the Barolo ‘Albe’ hail from three single-vineyards: ‘Fossati’, ‘Coste di Vergne’ and ‘La Volta’. The soils here are composed primarily of Sant’Agata Fossil marls (‘Fossati’, ‘Coste di Vergne’, ‘La Volta’ and ‘Bricco delle Viole’), occasionally punctuated by veins of Tortonian sandstone (‘Ravera’ and ‘Coste di Rose’) and planted between 270 and 480 metres above sea level.
Tasting note: Garnet red in colour, with crushed floral notes on the nose. The palate is vibrant, displaying notes of rose petals, fresh strawberries and raspberry, tobacco, and orange peel. The long finish is complemented by smooth, velvet tannins.
