G. D. Vajra
History of the Estate:
The estate of GD Vajra (named for its currents operator Aldo Vajra's grandfather, Giuseppe Domenico), is situated in Vergne, the highest village in the Commune of Barolo. Its vineyards are planted with Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera at heights of 350-400 meters, which results in distinctive and aromatic wines. The Vajra family is a group of dedicated, passionate winegrowers, who are also grounded and sensitive to the human role in winemaking. Their philosophy remains faithful to the traditional and authentic wines of Piemonte, and in essence they regard themselves as the instruments that enable nature and the environment full self-expression through their wines. They also playfully experiment with more "daring" wines as well, which they create to reflect the Vergne terroir, such as the cask-aged Freisa Kyé and the Langhe Bianco that come to being within this perfect dialogue between Nature and Humankind.
