A Kensington Wine Market exclusive and 93 points from Wine Spectator! The review: "Shy on the nose, this red is rich and round initially, boasting cherry, leather and spice flavors. Firms up, with lean, chewy tannins on the finish, accented by spice and tobacco elements. Displays fine balance overall. Best from 2016 through 2030."

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."

One of the top producers in Italy's Piedmont region! Some credit the legendary winemaker Elio Altare with the reason Barolo is now considered one of the world's great wines. This wine is made from the Nebbiolo grape, also used to make Barolo, but it's a fraction of the cost of fine Barolo. Enjoy its delicate notes of red roses and red fruits, and serve with antipasto, pastas with tomato sauce or grilled red meat.
