G.D. Vajra is located in
Vergne, the highest village in the Commune of Barolo, with vineyards planted
with Nebbiolo at heights of 350-400 metres above sea level, as well as with Dolcetto
and Barbera. This high altitude, combined with the impact from Piedmont’s
continental climate, means the grapes mature much slowler than other areas and
crus, with the result that its Barolos have always been recognised as quite
distinctive: wines with youthfully ample aromas, showing prominent but
judicious acidity, generous fruit always lively and crisp, whose primary
stylistic signature is their aromatic elegance.
Milena and Aldo Vaira are
among the dedicated and passionate winemakers who consign the utmost respect
for their land while granting their wine with an entirely unique signature
portraying elegance and character due to rigorous and consistent effort. Since
1970, they gradually expend the family vineyard to 40 hectares from which 10
hectares are planted of Nebbiolo for the production of Barolos. Today, they can
relate on the help of Giuseppe and Isidoro their two sons to make sure that the
authenticity and the high quality of their wines are well maintain for further
years to come.
