Vaira Aurelj Fuori Zona 'FZ' 2022
Vintage Character
Vaira Aurelj Fuori Zona 'FZ' 2022 is a low-intervention Nebbiolo from the Langhe, made with the explicit idea of stepping outside conventional boundaries. The warm 2022 vintage gives ripe fruit and concentration, while the Fuori Zona concept keeps the wine focused on freedom, energy, and immediate expression rather than formal appellation prestige. It is a strong choice for drinkers curious about Piedmont beyond the most familiar labels.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
The profile is red-fruited and aromatic, with cherry, wild strawberry, rose, orange peel, herbs, and a light savory spice note. The palate has bright acidity, fine tannic grip, and a fresh finish that makes it more versatile than many heavier reds. Pair it with tajarin, roast chicken, pork, salumi, grilled mushrooms, or hard cheeses for a clean match to its lively structure.
Winery Background
Vaira Aurelj is the Vergne estate of brothers Francesco and Giacomo, whose biodynamic vineyards and minimalist winemaking have earned attention for wines that feel energetic and unforced. FZ, short for Fuori Zona, captures their rebellious side by showing Nebbiolo outside the expected frame. It is low-intervention, high-expression Piedmont for drinkers who want authenticity with an edge.
