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 nature) and “Claré JC”, 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 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\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winebow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42273885061377,"sku":"695798112129","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/products\/vajra.png?v=1773086351","url":"https:\/\/arrowine.com\/products\/gd-vajra-langhe-nebbiolo-2024","provider":"Arrowine \u0026 Cheese","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
