Vaira Aurelj Barolo 'Fossati' DOCG 2021
Vintage Character
Vaira Aurelj Barolo 'Fossati' DOCG 2021 is a serious 750ml expression of Nebbiolo from one of the estate's key Barolo bottlings. Fossati gives the wine a classical structure of perfume, tannin, and savory depth, while the 2021 vintage adds precision, freshness, and long aging promise. It is a strong example of how Vaira Aurelj can work within Barolo tradition while still keeping the raw energy of its Vergne identity.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
The nose suggests rose, violet, red cherry, wild strawberry, blood orange, anise, tea leaf, and subtle spice. On the palate, the wine is taut and layered, with bright acidity, firm Nebbiolo tannins, and a long finish that feels savory and mineral rather than sweet or heavy. It belongs with veal chop, beef cheek, mushroom tajarin, aged cheeses, or duck, especially after decanting.
Winery Background
Vaira Aurelj is run by brothers Francesco and Giacomo, who have built their reputation on biodynamic vineyards, minimalist winemaking, and wines that challenge expectations. Their Barolo Fossati shows the estate's most age-worthy side, combining classic Nebbiolo architecture with a modern low-intervention pulse. It is a bottle for drinkers who want Barolo with depth, tension, and a clear point of view.
