A Kensington Wine Market exclusive and 90 points from Wine Spectator for the 2009 vintage! The review: "Bright cherry and burnished leather are the flavor highlights, showing accents of licorice and underbrush. Turns lean in the end, with stiff tannins, leaving a slight drying impression on the palate. Ample fruit provides balance. Best from 2017 through 2030." According to Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, "Manzone is one of the producers who chooses to bottle his Baroli on the late side." EIther way, a great price for Barolo from a legendary Italian producer! Buy a bottle or two for the cellar today!

One of the best-kept secrets out of Piedmont is the winery G.D. Vajra. Located at 1300ft in elevation and being the highest winery in Barolo they are fortunate enough to have some of the latest ripening grapes in Barolo and also providing smaller berries with thicker skins. A lot of the vineyards were planted in 1947, but the winery itself was not started until 1972 and the first vintage was released in 1978.
"Aldo and Milena Vajra are among the quietest and most introspective of Piedmont’s top echelon growers. It is the wines that do the talking here, and they do that ever so eloquently," according to Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. And from the winemaker: "Ruby red, delicate and at times, transparent. Intense expressive aromas of violets and dried roses are layered over small red berry notes. Silky tannins envelop the palate with personality and vivacious energy."
