Albe” is conceived as a gateway Barolo, the Barolo you introduce to people who have not yet discovered its sublime pleasures. It is a wine meant to be enjoyed, not revered or preserved, like the Vajra family tablecloth, but painted upon with a day-dreaming finger coated in tomato sauce. A wine meant to be drunk now, with friends and family. “Albe” is a traditional wine, made by one of the area’s traditional wine families, to be enjoyed without caring too much about drawing on cherished objects.



As a wine, Barolo DOCG tends to command money and respect, if not outright reverence. The very fact that many of these wines only hit their stride decades on reinforces this reverence. Indeed, Barolo could stand in for any long-lived wine with a price tag. But what “Albe” teaches us is not to revere these wines so much that we miss entirely the point, the pleasure in the glass.



TASTING NOTE AND WINE MAKING:

Youthful, fresh aromas of morello cherry, wild violet, dried sage, freshly-turned earth and new leather. Long maceration and 75hl cask aging give this wine high, fine and compact tannins which are approachable now but will fully resolve with a decade of further bottle age. The wine is harmonious on the palate, the bright red fruit seamlessly integrated with the 14% alcohol; the tight structure will successively open after some decanting and in the glass. An elegant multi-cru Barolo, perfect now with tomato-based dishes, in a few years with the classic Piemontese dish, Agnolotti del Plin, or by itself to convince a friend of the beauty to be found in these hills.
