G.D. VAJRA LANGHE ROSSO 2024

G.D. Vajra stands as one of Piedmont’s most respected estates, producing wines that combine tradition, precision and a deep sense of place. Based in Barolo, the Vajra family has built a reputation for crafting wines that emphasise elegance over sheer power, allowing Nebbiolo to express itself with clarity and refinement. The Barolos are aromatic and structured, offering fine tannins, lifted red fruit and a natural balance that evolves beautifully with time. Across the range, there is a consistent sense of composure, with each wine reflecting careful vineyard work and a thoughtful, measured approach in the cellar. Vajra’s wines are approachable in their youth yet capable of significant ageing, making them appealing to both collectors and engaged drinkers. For those seeking Barolo with finesse, transparency and classical structure, G. D. Vajra remains a benchmark producer of enduring quality.

Their Langhe Rosso is a hug from Piedmont. It’s an invitation to explore its different varieties and to get to know its personality. It is a fruity, delicately complex wine – an ideal companion at the table. It’s predominately Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto, with smaller quantities of Freisa, Albarossa, Pinot Noir. The varieties are vinified one by one, to express their personality and uniqueness.

91/100 Gary Walsh, The Wine Front (2024 Vintage)
"A juicy wine here. Red cherry, raspberry, dried herbs, some liquorice and mint, a little vanilla and dusty spice. It’s medium-bodied, some blood orange in with red fruits, an open-weave grainy grip to tannin, with a fruity yet savoury finish of solid length. As with many Italian wines, it will be at its best served with food."
