The G.D. Vajra Dolcetto d’Alba presents a vivid, deep purple appearance. Aromatically, it greets the nose with wild berries and mulberry, complemented by subtle white pepper, sweet spices, and a touch of fresh thyme. This wine is abundant in blue fruit and fresh plum flavors on the palate, enriched by a mild tartness that harmonizes wonderfully when paired with food. Its finish is refined, leaving a delightful hint of almond. This wine is exceptionally versatile with food, perfectly complementing egg pasta, pizza, white and red meats, and vegetable-focused dishes.

Producer profile

Cavallotto

The G.D. Vajra estate in Vergne, the highest village in the Barolo commune, is recognized for its distinguished winemaking. The winery's vineyards, perched at 350-400 meters, are ideal for growing prime varietals like Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, and Barbera. These higher elevations contribute unique aromatic profiles and characteristics to their wines, setting them apart in the region.

The Vajra family has long been committed to traditional winemaking methods, prioritizing manual intervention to capture the true essence of Piemontese wines. Since 1971, Aldo Vajra pioneered embracing organic farming practices in Piemonte, even as a student. The vineyards have been nurtured for nearly five decades with natural grassing and spontaneous cover crops, reflecting a deep-rooted respect for the environment.

The estate is proudly certified in sustainable and organic farming methods. Their meticulous care for each hectare of the vineyards symbolizes their steadfast commitment to quality. This dedication goes beyond mere viniculture, with a strong focus on enhancing biodiversity in their vineyards and the surrounding fields and woodlands.
