G.D. Vajra Albe

G.D. Vajra is a prestigious wine producer located in the heart of the Piedmont region in northwest Italy. Founded in 1972 by husband and wife team Aldo and Milena Vaira, the winery has established itself as a pioneer in the production of high-quality wines in the Barolo and Barbaresco appellations.

The Vaira family has been involved in winemaking for generations, with Aldo's father and grandfather both being winemakers. This long-standing tradition and passion for winemaking has been passed down to Aldo and Milena, who have continued to produce exceptional wines while also incorporating modern techniques and sustainable practices.

The winery's name, G.D. Vajra, is a tribute to Aldo's father, Giuseppe Domenico, who was known as "G.D." to his friends and family. This personal touch is reflected in the winery's approach to winemaking, which is based on respect for tradition and the land, as well as a deep understanding of the terroir.

One of the key factors that sets G.D. Vajra apart from other producers in the region is their commitment to organic and biodynamic farming practices. They believe that this approach allows the vines to express their true character and terroir, resulting in wines that are authentic, complex, and reflective of their origin.

The flagship wine of G.D. Vajra is their Barolo Bricco delle Viole, a single-vineyard wine that is considered one of the top Barolos in the region. It is made with
