THE COMPANY
“We produce Barolo but not only, because we love all the wines of our land. We believe in beauty, in well-made work, in attention to detail, in creativity that respects tradition. We are a family-run and artisanal company. We are supported by a young, enthusiastic, and passionate team. We directly oversee the work in our vineyards, as it is the foundation of uncompromising quality, but above all because we enjoy it so much. Our wines are born elegant, complex, delicate. They have the identity and personality we would like to find in every glass on our table.” These are the words with which the company Vajra presents itself: a true and undisputed reference point of the Langhe lands, a winery that has always been tied to the traditions and territory it belongs to, capable over time of establishing itself with products that have reached absolute quality levels.
Vajra is one of the historic names of the Piedmontese Langhe, established in 1972, covering a vineyard area that spans a total of fifty hectares. Located in the municipality of Barolo, the winery produces strongly territorial wines, starting from all the most typical grape varieties of the area.
A family-run business, where two generations work side by side, creating a dynamic blend of loyalty to the oldest local traditions, combined with particular attention to the most modern technical and scientific innovations that progress can currently offer: mass selections, treatments done with the utmost respect for the territory and nature, using synthetic products only where strictly necessary. During the harvest, and also afterwards, rigorous grape selections are made, to ensure that each bottle achieves the maximum result in terms of fidelity to the grape variety and the Langhe terroir. Simply excellent wines, those labeled “Vajra”, capable of expressing like few others the finest oenological essence of the Piedmontese lands.
