That's the equivalent of this wine. The G.D. Vajra 2021 Barolo Albe is an enormously versatile expression of Nebbiolo, with an affordable price, that offers more value for your money than most Barolos out there. The bouquet focuses on dark berry, pressed flower and crushed stone. It offers good sharpness over broad lines. The mouthfeel is medium-plus in texture and it closes with silky, accessible tannins. Fruit comes from three cru sites: Coste di Vergne, Fossati and La Volta.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinery History\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vajra family has farmed Bricco delle Viole, the highest cru in Comune di Barolo, since the 1880s. At the young age of fifteen, Aldo Vajra embraced the dream to revive his family legacy. Displaying a vision and commitment belying his young age he took over the estate in 1968, turning a new page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAldo soon acquired the first organic certification of the region (1971), created private biotype selections (selezioni massali) of Nebbiolo and Dolcetto, pioneered the renaissance of Freisa, a noble yet forgotten local grape (1980) and the cultivation of Rhine Riesling in Piemonte (1985).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, the Vajra family continues the vineyard research focusing on the influence of soil and climate change. The winery is trail-blazing the rediscovery of Chiaretto di Nebbiolo and the wines of the 17th century – long before Barolo was created - through two limited-production wines: \"N.S. della Neve\" (a champagne-method rosé brut) and \"Claré J.C.\", a partial whole-cluster fermentation of pure Nebbiolo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh elevation vineyards are a unique factor to the Vajra wines, for their ability to express finesse and remarkable complexity over power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAttention to details and humility towards the nature, uncompromised efforts and humanity: so are Aldo and Milena, now joined by their energetic children Giuseppe, Francesca and Isidoro, and by an amazing team of young professionals, in their quest for an authentic expression of their land into the wines. G.D. Vajra is an independent winery, entirely family-owned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe winery quality focus grows during the years, SNQPI (2016) and Equalitas (2022) joined their certifications pack, the research on the flora and fauna, the improvement of biodiversity and the preservation of the old vines are a part of their everyday life and the future goal.
