ABOUT THIS WINE
The G.D. Vajra Barolo Bricco delle Viole 2020 originates from the Barolo DOCG appellation in Piedmont, Italy, crafted exclusively from 100% Nebbiolo grapes. The fruit is sourced from the Bricco delle Viole vineyard, notable for its high altitude (400-480 meters) and south-facing exposure, which creates significant diurnal temperature shifts. The estate has a long-standing commitment to organic viticulture, with the vineyard farmed organically since 1971. The 2020 vintage was marked by an extended growing season, leading to a late harvest in early October.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The G.D. Vajra Barolo Bricco delle Viole 2020 is produced using traditional vinification methods. Fermentation occurs in custom vertical vats with a 57-day submerged cap maceration, followed by malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine then ages for 28 months in large Slavonian oak casks (25-50 hectoliters). The harvest for the 2020 vintage took place in early October after a long growing season, with grapes meticulously sorted three times.
