The G.D. Vajra 2020 Dolcetto d’Alba is very fruity and bright. You can taste raw blueberry and raspberry flavours with impressive intensity. There’s not much else behind that wall of primary fruit, save for some earthy tones and maybe pressed blue flowers. This is a delightfully simple 30,000-bottle production that would pair with burgers on the grill.

Notes
Our G.D. Vajra Dolcetto d’Alba is a homage to this wonderful, often overlooked heritage variety. Historically, Dolcetto was cultivated in prime land, just above Nebbiolo vineyards. At Vajra, we remain loyal to this approach, farming our vineyards in places of true vocation. This is a pure, vibrant and fruity expression of the grape.
Dolcetto is picked in the first half of September. As vineyards are located at higher elevation, protected from thermal inversion that affects northern slopes and the valley floors, they allow for longer hang time and full phenolic ripening. A gentle vinification usually lasts up to 15 days, with a couple of plunges per day. Wine is racked at least twice prior to malolactic conversion, which takes place in stainless-steel vats. Vajra Dolcetto d’Alba sees a minimum aging period in stainless-steel only, and is bottled in spring following the harvest. – Giuseppe Vaira
