From a Barolo terroir planted with Barbera, Aldo Vajra's Superiore is one of the finest in Piedmont. It has a beautiful, deep, spicy, rich nose of plum and liquorice, with a touch of blackcurrant. The palate offers tannins worthy of a great Barolo: the wine is indeed structured, firm, spicy and strongly persistent. A cuvee of terroir and ageing potential: we love it! Vinous: 93+/100

Technique

Viticulture

Exceptional Barbera from two great terroirs: Bricco delle Viole on Barolo (which is one of the best Barolo wines), and Bric Bertone on Sinio. Guyot cultivation, natural grassing, green harvesting if necessary.

Oenology

20 days of maceration with temperature control, fermentation via indigenous yeasts, malolactic fermentation during the first year of ageing, which lasts 20 to 24 months in Slovenian oak barrels. This time is necessary to refine the racy and firm tannins of the grapes of noble origin.
