G.D. Vajra (pronounced Vaira) is now led by Giuseppe, the second generation of Vajra, a thoughtful winemaker working with respect to what was and a desire to explore what might be.

Their Barolos have become highly sought-after for their accessibility, purity and longevity. 

Words from Giuseppe's Australian importer, Cellarhand:

"The Vaira family's parcel in Coste di Rose in Barolo are gorgeously located on the top of the MGA (single vineyard), at 310masl — a unique vineyard. The soil is dominated by a pure Arenaria di Diano, a Tortonian sandstone that delivers distinctive floral aromatics and a salty minerality. This cru is one of Barolo’s best-kept secrets, being located right in between Cannubi and Bussia, yet away from the beaten paths."
