On the nose, the 2019 is beautifully layered: violet flowers, marasca cherries, candies and wet stones all grace this effusive and evocative Barolo. The palate reveals the signature verticality of Bricco delle Viole combined with an incredible complexity, and expands with velvety tannins and a profound finish.\r\nJeb Dunnuck 97 Points \r\nRobert Parker 97 Points \r\nVinous 97 Points \r\nWine Spectator 96 Points\r\nJames Suckling 94 Points\r\nAbout G.d. Vajra Winery\r\nThe Vajra family has farmed Bricco delle Viole, the highest cru in Comune di Barolo, since the 1880s. At the young age of fifteen, Aldo Vajra embraced the dream to revive his family legacy. Displaying a vision and commitment belying his young age he took over the estate in 1968, turning a new page.\r\nAldo soon acquired the first organic certification of the region (1971), created private biotype selections (selezioni massali) of Nebbiolo and Dolcetto, pioneered the renaissance of Freisa, a noble yet forgotten local grape (1980) and the cultivation of Rhine Riesling in Piemonte (1985).\r\nToday, the Vajra family continues the vineyard research focusing on the influence of soil and climate change. The winery is trail-blazing the rediscovery of Chiaretto di Nebbiolo and the wines of the 17th century \u2013 long before Barolo was created - through two limited-production wines: \u201cN.S. della Neve\u201d (a champagne-method ros\u00e9 nature) and \u201cClar\u00e9 JC\u201d, a partial whole-cluster fermentation of pure Nebbiolo.\r\nHigh elevation vineyards are a unique factor to the Vajra wines, for their ability to express finesse and remarkable complexity over power.\r\nAttention to details and humility towards the nature, uncompromised efforts and humanity: so are Aldo and Milena, now joined by their energetic children Giuseppe, Francesca and Isidoro, and by an amazing team of young professionals, in their quest for an authentic expression of their land into the wines. G.d. Vajra is an independent winery, entirely family-owned. |
