Persoonlijke gegevens
The Barolo Bricco delle Viole has an enchanting ruby red hue. Notes of violet and lush cherry, almost tending towards more savory notes on the finish. There's an underlying earthiness with a wet, stony minerality that runs throughout; this is an enchanting and expressive Barolo. The Bricco delle Viole is among the highest-quality vineyards in Piedmont. Decant the wine in its younger years, and we recommend enjoying this beautiful wine in a fine Burgundy glass .

VAJRA
Aldo Vajra has always been a bit of a rebel. And for good reason, because this trait has led to this beautiful winery and its authentic wines. Vajra's vineyards are located northwest of Barolo and have been organically farmed from the start. The high altitude of the vineyards (the Bricco delle Viole is among the highest vineyards in Piedmont) creates a large temperature difference between day and night. The grapes ripen slowly and fully, giving the wines a wonderful finesse and elegance. The relatively cool climate in this area has led many winemakers to harvest the Dolcetto grape, as this grape needs warmth to fully develop. But the Vajra family still produces beautiful rosé and red wines from this grape. Read more under the tab: Winery

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | De 2014 G.D. Vajra Barolo Bricco delle Viole toont een betoverend palet van viooltjes en weelderige kersen, opgevolgd door hartige toetsen, aardse ondertonen en een strakke natte steenmineraliteit. Door zijn rijpe tannines en frisse zuurgraad snijdt en verzacht hij goed bij rood vlees, lam, wild, rijke stoofschotels en gerijpte kazen, waarbij de aardse tonen de umami van het vlees en de zoutigheid van kaas accentueren. Extra mooie combinaties ontstaan bij langzaam gegaarde stoofpotten of brasades, gegrild of geroosterd lam met rozemarijn en knoflook, en bij wild bereid met jeneverbessen of paddenstoelen, terwijl rijpere kazen zoals oude Pecorino of Parmigiano de fruitige en minerale lagen van de wijn laten stralen. |

Here is a delicate, graceful and deeply floral expression of Nebbiolo. The 2014 Barolo Bricco Delle Viole offers a very polished and fine interpretation with a ready and accessible personality. This is a great wine to order at your favorite restaurant. This vintage is well suited to near and medium-term drinking. The wine sees a long 50-day maceration period, and uniquely designed conical stainless steel vessels are used during fermentation. This is innovative technology meant to mimic traditional winemaking machinery. The 2014 vintage is a bit thinner and more compact in terms of mouthfeel, but the bouquet is bright and vibrant nonetheless. This is a more approachable interpretation of one of Barolo's most elegant and delicate wines.

G.D. Vajra is a testament to the harmonious relationship between terroir and the rich legacy of a passionate winemaking family. Situated in the renowned Barolo appellation, this enchanting estate has been crafting exceptional wines for generations, capturing the essence of the land and the profound stories that shaped their journey.
The cornerstone of G.D. Vajra's wine making philosophy lies in the concept of terroir. Every bottle that bears their name is an expression of the unique characteristics of the vineyards and the distinct microclimates that bless the Langhe region. From the ethereal vineyard of Bricco delle Viole to the enchanting slopes of Fossati and Ravera, each parcel of land is meticulously tended, allowing the grapes to mature and develop their individual personalities.
The Vajra family, led by the visionary Aldo Vajra, has been nurturing vineyards and crafting wines since the 1970s. Aldo made his first organic wines at the age of 18 and became one of the first wineries to replant the forgotten grape variety Freisa. He continued to innovate with the plantings of less traditional varieties such as Riesling and Pinot Noir. The Vajra family to this day remain steadfast in their commitment to sustainable practices, seeking to preserve the natural biodiversity of their vineyards for generations to come.
The Vajra family's winemaking journey is a testament to their unwavering love for their heritage. With a blend of tradition and innovation, they have honed their craft over the years, producing wines that carry the spirit of their ancestors. Whether it's the iconic Barolo, the elegant Dolcetto, or the vibrant Barbera, each bottle is a reflection of the Vajra family's deep-rooted passion and dedication.
