Detailed info

Traditional at heart, this estate located in Vergne was founded in 1972. It is managed with panache by Aldo Vajra and his children, who constantly deliver amazing and original wines. This cuvée brings together Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo, and the result is very interesting. A fresh attack precedes a generous mouthfeel. The remarkable profile is completed by flavours of red berries, sweet spices and licorice notes.

(Automatically translated) A superb, very supple wine that surprises with a rather strong fruity finish. Without being too full-bodied, it can be added to almost any meal. My best discovery so far!

(Automatically translated) Instant love at first sight with this magnificent Piedmont wine. A blend of Barbera, Dolcetto and Nebbiolo that makes the whole thing perfectly balanced. An all-purpose wine, as they say.
