The G.D. Vajra Estate is one of the hidden gems of the Barolo wine region in Italy. Perched on the hills of Bricco delle Viole, the estate majestically overlooks the panoramic landscape of Barolo, offering a stunning view of the terraced vineyards cascading down to the valleys. The Vajra family, who have owned the estate since the 1970s, has largely built its reputation on Barolo, a full-bodied and richly tannic red wine, renowned for its aging potential and complex notes of red fruits, truffles and leather. The estate is famous for its diverse range of Barolo, each reflecting the complexity and uniqueness of their respective terroirs. The G.D. Vajra Estate is environmentally friendly and incorporates sustainable and eco-responsible practices at every stage of the viticulture process. Attention to detail and commitment to quality are evident in each bottle produced by the estate. The G.D. Vajra Estate also challenges the traditional rules of Barolo. Not content to rest on their laurels, the Vajra family has sought to innovate and push the boundaries of what is expected from the region's wines. They have bet on lesser-known varietals like Riesling and Moscato to create fresh and vibrant white wines, and explored a variety of winemaking techniques to create unique variations in their range of red wines. The G.D. Vajra Estate stands out with its ability to brilliantly combine tradition and innovation, while maintaining unparalleled quality.
