G.D. Vajra Barolo Bricco delle Viole
Regular price $117.99The 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.
Aldo 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).
Their Barolo Bricco delle Viole is all fruit coming from a single vineyard within the Barolo commune of Barolo. This is an elegant, layered, silky, aromatic, and thrilling Barolo. Classic notes of cranberry and candied plum make up some of the fruit here. Crushed violet, rose, dried earth, and shiitake mushroom are all part of the savory side. Slatey minerality and fine tannin further add to this compelling example of the more modern classification of MGA Barolo.
