The Barolo Bricco delle Viole has an enchanting ruby red hue. Notes of violet, lush cherries, almost leaning towards more savoury notes on the finish. There is an underlying earthiness with a wet stone minerality running throughout, this is an enchanting and expressive Barolo. 97/100 Vinous
The Bricco delle Viole is one of the highest vineyards in Piedmont. 2020 is a truly remarkable vintage and one of the longest of the decade. It started with an early bud break and slowed down during the spring and summer, resulting in a late harvest. An abundant flowering from May 12th laid the foundation for fragrant, airy wines with dominant red tones. Numerous rain showers, well into July, caused a less regular fruit set, considerably more work in the vineyards, but also milder temperatures, leading to an estimated vegetative cycle of 213 days. Excellent aromatics, grape authenticity and beautiful tannins are the characteristics of 2020. This is reminiscent of, among others, the 2013 vintage, which can also age so beautifully. Decant the wine in its early years and we recommend drinking this beautiful wine in a beautiful Burgundy glass .

VAJR
Aldo Vajra has always been a bit of a rebel. And that's a good thing, because this characteristic has led to this beautiful winery with its authentic wines. The Vajra vineyards are located northwest of the town of Barolo and have been organically farmed from the start. The high altitude of the vineyards (the Bricco delle Viole is one of the highest vineyards in Piemonte) ensures large temperature differences between day and night. The grapes ripen slowly and completely, and give the wines a wonderful finesse and elegance. The relatively cool climate in this area has caused many winemakers to harvest the Dolcetto grape, because this grape needs warmth to fully develop. But the Vajras still make beautiful rosé and red from this grape. Read more under the tab: Winery

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | De 2022 G.D. Vajra Barolo Bricco delle Viole toont verfijnde tonen van rood en donker fruit, gedroogde viooltjes en lavendel, ondersteund door een strakke minerale onderstroom en poederige, rijpe tannines die de wijn zowel elegant als krachtig maken. Dankzij die combinatie van florale finesse, hartige mineraliteit en stevige structuur past hij uitstekend bij rundvlees, wild, richella pasta en rijke stoofschotels, omdat de tannines en zuurgraad vetten doorsnijden en de aromatische complexiteit van paddenstoelen, truffel en geroosterd vlees versterken. Gerechten met langzame garing zoals langzaam gegaard rundvlees of wildstoofpotten, gegrilde entrecote met knapperig korstje en pasta met truffel of paddenstoelen in een romige saus zullen bijzonder goed samengaan. |

The G.D. Vajra 2022 Barolo Bricco delle Viole is a wine I always look forward to tasting for its graceful, often translucent presentation. In this warmer vintage, it shows added richness and concentration while remaining true to its floral character. Rose and violet lead the bouquet, followed by tar, crushed stone and sweet cherry. Bricco delle Viole is one of the highest vineyard sites in Barolo, where cooler air currents and significant diurnal shifts help preserve aromatic lift and finesse even in hot years. A lingering sweetness carries through the mouthfeel, where the wine offers silky, more-resolved tannins.

G.D. Vajra Barolo Bricco delle Viole 2022
Vintage
2022
A very absorbing nose, showing flowers, passion fruit, sandalwood and crunchy red berries. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, with a detailed, precise tannin structure and tender fruit, finishing firm and focused. From one of the higher-altitude crus in Barolo. This needs two to three years to soften. Better from 2029.

The 2022 Barolo Bricco delle Viole is impenetrable today. Dried cherry fruit, mint, chalk, dried herbs and white pepper lend notable salivating energy. The 2022 feels compact and unyielding, both within the context of this wine (which is always more about linear intensity than size) and the year. Perhaps time will be of some help in softening the contours.

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.
