G.D. Vajra Barolo Bricco Delle Viole 2021

Product Desciption:
The hilltop icon—elegance meets structure. From one of Barolo’s most iconic vineyards, Bricco delle Viole delivers lifted aromatics and laser-cut tannins shaped by altitude, limestone-rich soils, and slow ripening. In 2021 it’s all finesse and length—violets, redcurrant and incense layered over a tightly coiled, mineral-driven core.

The 2021 Barolo release from G.D. Vajra captures a vintage marked by energy, finesse and breathtaking site expression. Despite a challenging growing season, the Vaira family has crafted a quartet of single-cru wines, plus their beloved Albe, that not only survive the vintage—they define it. These are Barolos with precision, lift, and the hallmark purity that has made Vajra a name revered in Langhe and beyond.

Each cuvée tells a distinct story of site: Albe merges three classic vineyards; Coste di Rose glows with floral lift and saline cut; Ravera brings tension and grip from its complex soils; and Bricco delle Viole remains the jewel—high, breezy, and utterly refined. Together, they form a compelling portrait of a vintage that’s already been declared one for the ages.
