Vaira Aurelj Barolo 'Fossati' DOCG 2021
Vintage Character
Vaira Aurelj Barolo 'Fossati' DOCG 2021 in magnum captures a powerful vintage through one of the estate's most serious Barolo expressions. Fossati gives Nebbiolo a mix of perfume, structure, and savory depth, while the 2021 season is widely admired for clarity, balance, and long aging potential. In this larger format, the wine should evolve slowly, making it especially compelling for collectors who want both cellar life and a distinctive producer story.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
The profile leans toward rose petal, red cherry, wild strawberry, blood orange, licorice, tea leaf, and subtle spice. On the palate it is firm, fresh, and detailed, with Nebbiolo tannins that feel purposeful rather than coarse. The long finish carries fruit, earth, and mineral tension, making it a strong match for veal shank, porcini risotto, truffle dishes, or duck with crisp skin.
Winery Background
Vaira Aurelj is led by brothers Francesco and Giacomo at their Vergne estate, where biodynamic vineyards and minimalist winemaking shape wines with unusual energy. Their Fossati bottling shows the serious side of the project: Barolo with structure, but also with the low-intervention pulse that makes the estate stand apart. For drinkers looking beyond the usual famous labels, this magnum has real cult appeal.
