Autumn comforts - 86p

​It’s easy to get down in autumn. The weather is turning and there is a distinct chill in the air. So it’s important to find something to comfort you and what is better than a good red wine! We don’t know and this week we have found a bottle that is easy to drink and goes well with a lot of good comfort food!

Vajra is a winery we have recommended before. Their Langhe Rosso is a fantastic buy for only 162,- kr. But this week we are going for their superb Barbera d’Alba. It’s up a bit in price, to 225,-, but you get a super wine that you can use just as well for food such as chicken, veal and, my favorite, mushroom risotto, or just enjoy it by it self as you autumn comfort wine!

Tastingn notes:

Vajra Barbera d'Alba 2021 - 225,- kr

Beautiful deep red colour, almost towards purple. Cherry and cherry stone on the nose with hints of mushrooms. Great acidity in the mouth cleans it right up. Cherry and red berries of the forest in the mouth. Very clean and nice. Just a very good wine!
