Vaira Aurelj Barolo 'Fossati' DOCG 2020
Vintage Character
Vaira Aurelj Barolo 'Fossati' DOCG 2020 is especially notable because 2020 marks the estate's first vintage of Barolo Fossati. Fossati is a respected Barolo MGA, and this release places Vaira Aurelj firmly inside one of Piedmont's most demanding traditions while keeping the estate's low-intervention identity intact. The warm, relatively dry 2020 season gave Nebbiolo ripe fruit and depth, balanced by the freshness that makes strong Barolo vintages feel complete rather than overbuilt.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
The wine shows classic Nebbiolo character: rose, red cherry, wild strawberry, orange peel, anise, and fine spice, moving into a structured palate with firm but refined tannins. It has the depth expected from Fossati, yet the style remains lifted and transparent, with a long savory finish. Pair it with braised veal, porcini risotto, aged cheeses, or roast duck when the wine's perfume and grip can meet dishes with real substance.
Winery Background
Brothers Francesco and Giacomo are rewriting Barolo's rules from their Vergne estate, working biodynamically in the vineyard and minimally in the cellar. Vaira Aurelj's wines are valued for energy, precision, and a slightly rebellious spirit, and the 2020 Fossati already shows why the estate is becoming cult-worthy. It is Barolo for drinkers who want authenticity with tension, not just tradition by default.
