Vaira Aurelj Fuori Zona 'FZ' 2022
Vintage Character
Vaira Aurelj Fuori Zona 'FZ' 2022 in 3L is a rare large-format bottling of the estate's boundary-pushing Nebbiolo project. Fuori Zona means outside the zone, referring to Nebbiolo grown just outside the expected Barolo framework rather than a conventional Barolo label. The warm, dry 2022 vintage gives concentration, while the estate's biodynamic-minded farming and minimalist cellar approach aim to preserve lift, texture, and a clear sense of place.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Expect red cherry, wild berries, violet, rose, dried herbs, spice, and a savory mineral undertone, supported by Nebbiolo's natural acidity and fine tannic frame. The 3L format suggests patience, so it should benefit from cellar time or a generous decant. It is well suited to roast meats, mushroom pasta, braised dishes, aged cheeses, or a long table where the wine can unfold slowly.
Winery Background
Brothers Francesco and Giacomo are known for rewriting expectations from their Vergne estate, crafting wines that buzz with energy rather than simply following inherited rules. Fuori Zona is their clearest statement of that approach: a Nebbiolo with authenticity, tension, and a rebellious sense of freedom. In 3L, it becomes a serious collector's piece for drinkers who like Piedmont with a twist.
