Nestled in the heart of the Barolo region, the Bricco delle Viole vineyard gives rise to a wine that perfectly embodies the elegance of Nebbiolo. This 2021 Barolo offers a blend of fresh red fruit and floral notes, balanced by subtle earthy nuances, reflecting the unique terroir of the vineyard.

Ripe cherries, raspberries, and strawberries greet the nose, accompanied by delicate floral aromas of rose and violet, and underlined by soft earthy tones. On the palate, the wine is lively yet refined, with fine tannins that offer structure while maintaining the wine's light touch. The acidity is bright, bringing out the freshness of the fruit, while the finish is long and smooth, leaving behind lingering red fruit and floral notes.

A perfect companion for roasted meats, game, or truffle-infused dishes, this Barolo is delightful now but promises further evolution in the cellar, revealing even more layers of complexity as it ages.

Active since the nineteenth century, the property was revitalised in 1968 by Aldo Vajra. Since taking the helm, Aldo has remained an influential force in Barolo, pioneering organic viticulture and resuscitating lesser-known varieties like Freisa. Aldoโ€™s passion for his craft is shared by his children who now join him in the vines and cellar.

While the Vajras are progressive in their actions, their wines are classic. Farming is meticulous and vinification of the estateโ€™s flagship Barolos, from magnificent high altitude crus, follows the time-honored protocol of long fermentation and aging in large neutral oak barrels.

Vajra's Barolo is known for, more than anything else, its purity. Vajra makes Barolo so airy that it seems to float, its essence of Nebbiolo wafting from the glass and seeping across your palate like mist.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

"The 2021 Barolo Bricco delle Viole is a wine of stature and breeding. Vertical in shape, the Bricco delle Viole has so much to offer. Dark-toned fruit, leather, incense, gravel and licorice add an attractive savory edge. The 2021 is an especially somber, potent Bricco delle Viole. I would not dream of touching a bottle anytime soon." -Antonio Galloni

"The organic G.D. Vajra 2021 Barolo Bricco delle Viole first shows a fragile side, but it eventually rolls onto much greater momentum and focus as it opens in the glass. This is always one of my favorite wines from this excellent producer, and I love it especially thanks to its fine nuances of redcurrant, pressed flower and something a little savory like peat moss. There is a hint of ashy stone or brimstone. All of these little details emerge with terrific sharpness in an epic vintage such as 2021. Fruit comes from a seven-hectare plot at 400 to 480 meters in elevation on Sant'Agata marl soils with marine fossils." -Monica Larner

"The Bricco delle Viole is a fairly full-bodied, mouth-filling wine that needs further ageing to assimilate. Complex aromas of cinnamon, brushwood, violets, mint and cherry blossom intertwine to create an intoxicating flavour. The core of dark berry fruit is fleshy and rich, but is cleanly and firmly enveloped by suede-textured tannins. The youthful tension is enhanced by the characteristic linear acidity. A hint of liquorice and juniper seeps through on the finish."
