G.D. Vajra Coste & Fossati Dolcetto d' Alba 2001 (Piemonte)


Since 1972, owners, Milena and Aldo Vaira have been producing Barolo, Barbera d'Alba, Dolcetto d'Alba, Langhe Nebbiolo, Freisa, and Bianco on a small-scale on their 40 hectare estate in Vergne, the highest village in the Commune of Barolo. Made in the traditional style, their Coste & Fossati Dolcetto d' Alba is a terrific example of the varietal. With generous fruit and judicious acidity, the wine is wonderfully food friendly. A wine worth looking for. Albeisa bottle.
