Producer The estate of G.D. Vajra, situated in Vergne the highest village in the Commune of Barolo, wasestablished in 1972 by Giuseppe Domenico. Milena and Aldo Vaira are the current owners.Both have worked the vineyards since the early 1970s. Vajra currently owns 40 sustainablyfarmed hectares in such strategic spots as Bricco delle Viole, Fossati, La Volta, Coste di Vergne.The vineyards are planted with Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera at elevations between 350-400meters, which results in distinctive and aromatic wines. Their philosophy remains faithful to thetraditional wines of Piedmont. "I try to make wines that give people joy. In the past wine was afood, it was necessary for sustenance. Today that is not the case; we choose to drink forpleasure. I want to make wines that bring people happiness.” ~ Aldo Vajra

Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator
Enticing aromas and flavors of plum, cherry, iron and menthol are folded harmoniously
into the lush texture and broad tannins of this long and vibrant red, with licorice,
mineral and tobacco elements lingering.
