Tasting notes

The G.D. Vajra 2017 Barolo Bricco delle Viole is packed with medium dark cherry fruit and plum. The wine also shows a savory side, with spice, hazelnut cream, licorice and lightly fragrant potting soil. This vintage sits solid on the palate, wrapping thickly over the senses, thanks to its creamy, fruit-driven consistency and well-managed tannins. These vines are high in elevation, ranging from 400 to 480 meters in altitude. Those higher elevations are key to interpreting a vintage that saw heat such as this.

About this wine

G.D. Vajra Albe produces benchmark expressions of Barolo DOCG from their estate in Piedmont, Italy's most prestigious wine region. The producer is celebrated for a biodynamic approach that emphasizes vineyard health and natural winemaking practices, resulting in wines of remarkable elegance and authenticity.

This Nebbiolo-based red from the Bricco delle Viole vineyard embodies the classic character of Barolo: full-bodied with warming alcohol, vibrant red fruit aromatics, delicate floral notes, and a distinctive stony minerality that reflects the region's Alba terroir. The wine's structure and complexity make it equally suited to cellar aging or near-term enjoyment.

A versatile pairing partner, this Barolo complements aged cheddar and blue cheese, grilled lamb and beef, mushroom-based dishes, venison, duck, and charcuterie. It's equally at home with tomato-based preparations and roasted vegetables, making it an essential addition to any fine wine collection.
