G.D. Vajra was the first winery in the Barolo region to gain organic certification, as early as 1971 - a pioneering spirit that still defines the house's approach to winegrowing today.
Expert's Description
G.D. Vajra Langhe Rosso 2022 is a Red Wine from Langhe, Piedmont, Italy, made from a blend of Albarossa, Barbera, Dolcetto, Freisa, Nebbiolo and Pinot Noir with an alcohol content of 13%. The winery dates back to 1972, when a young Aldo Vaira took over the family farm in Barolo, and the name G.D. Vajra comes from father Giuseppe Domenico's initials combined with the older spelling of the family name. The Langhe Rosso category gives the house's winemakers freedom to blend several of the region's classic grape varieties into one accessible, versatile cuvée that reflects the breadth of the Langhe district's grape material.
