Tasting notes
Marengo Dolcetto d'Alba 2021
This vintage has not been rated yet, see 2019 tasting notes:
‘The 2019 Dolcetto d'Alba is a powerful, pleasantly rustic wine that offers plenty of depth as well as intensity. Blue fruit, game, licorice and earthy notes are all packed into a deceptively mid-weight Dolcetto that is long on personality and character.’ – Antonio Galloni, Vinous
GD Vajra Dolcetto d'Alba 2021
‘Made only in stainless steel, the 2021 Dolcetto d'Alba shows a purplish color with inky concentration. The bouquet is simple and direct with loads of sweet candied cherry, crème de cassis and bitter almond. This is another terrific take on one of Piedmont’s most versatile grapes.’ – Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, 90/100
GD Vajra Barbera d'Alba 2021
‘Here’s another food-friendly wine from beautiful Piedmont. The 2021 Barbera d'Alba shows a dark purplish hue and saturated fruit flavors of dried blackberry and black cherry. There are hints of crushed mineral or oyster shell as well. The wine’s medium thickness would work across a breaded veal steak. Fruit is sourced across various sites with different soil types.’ – Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, 91/100

Marengo Barbera d'Alba Pugnane 2020
‘This sinewy Barbera is marked by a mix of blackberry, black cherry, earth and salty flavors. Compact and firms up on the finish.’ – Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 88/100
