2022 G.D. Vajra, Barolo, Albe - Half Bottle

G.D. Vajra is a family-run estate located in the commune of Barolo, where Aldo Vajra began farming his family’s vineyards in the late 1960s. This wine is made from 100% Nebbiolo sourced from high-elevation sites, where the vines grow in rocky, chalky soils that help maintain aromatic freshness. In the glass, it offers notes of red cherry, dried rose petals, and a touch of orange peel, balanced by fine, structured tannins. The 2022 growing season was defined by warmth and low water levels, which resulted in a vibrant, concentrated profile with ripe fruit character. This half bottle is an excellent entry point for the producer’s style, offering immediate drinkability while maintaining the potential to age gracefully over the medium term.
