G.D. Vajra Dolcetto d'Alba
Dolcetto translates as "little sweet one," though the wines are actually dry – the name refers to the grape's naturally low acidity compared to Piedmont's other red varieties. G.D.
Vajra's version is the perfect introduction to this underappreciated grape, offering immediate pleasure without sacrificing authenticity. The Vajra family is known for their meticulous attention to detail in both the vineyard and winery, and this care shows in their Dolcetto.
While many Piedmont producers treat Dolcetto as an afterthought to their Barolo and Barbaresco, Vajra gives it the respect it deserves. The result is a wine that perfectly captures the variety's charming fruit character and food-friendly nature.
It's the bottle locals reach for on Tuesday night while their Barolo ages – and there's no higher compliment than that.
