Description

The Luigi Baudana Barolo Cerretta is made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes from 40-year-old vines of many different clones, resulting in a wine with depth and soul—a direct reflection of Luigi Baudana's lifelong work. It's an austere and highly mineral expression of Barolo. Aromas of dark cherry and raspberry burst vibrantly from the glass. Hints of iron, menthol, and new leather contribute to the depth and intrigue of this wine. Refined and polished, the Cerretta boasts an extra layer of tannins, substantial structure, and vibrant acidity almost buried by its exquisitely lush fruit. Luigi and Fiorina Baudani are local legends of the Serralunga region and have been actively growing grapes for over 30 years. In 2009, G.D. Vajra was given the responsibility of producing wines from these grapes and expanding the Baudani family legacy.

Luigi Baudana stands out as one of the smallest boutique wineries in Serralunga d'Alba and the wider Barolo region. Spanning just 2.6 hectares, they focus on quality, not quantity, and their vineyard selection is unparalleled, featuring vineyards in the village's prime crus. They are truly the epitome of a garagiste producer!

The 2020 Barolo Cerretta is a remarkably complete wine in this vintage. Deep and layered, yet in the medium-bodied style of the year, the 2020 impresses with its balance and overall harmony. Juicy red cherries, spices, rose petals, mint, and dried herbs beautifully complement the layers. The robust finish is very appealing.

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.
