Critic reviews
"Offering a level of aromatic clarity and elegance that is not always easy for this grape, the G.D. Vajra 2022 Barbera d'Alba Superiore Viola delle Viole has beautiful aromas of earthy iris, gentle oak spice, toasted allspice and a very ripe or soft quality of fruit. It all balances out smoothly to the senses. The tannins are tucked softly within that texture to good effect, giving support but no harshness. This is a well-made Superiore with both intensity and balance."
Monica Larner, April 2024, RobertParker.com
"The 2022 Barbera d'Alba Superiore is a rich, heady, powerful wine. Dark red/purplish fruit runs through this dense, muscular wine. Readers will find a distinctive Barbera of uncommon depth, structure and complexity."
Antonio Galloni, January 2025, Vinous.com
"This wine has an exuberant nose of crushed blueberries, spices, cedar and a subtle hint of tile. On the palate it’s full-bodied with compact, precise tannins. There is a balanced and lovely interplay between the vibrant fruit, focused tannins and lively acidity. Sensibly made Barbera. Drink now."
