Monterustico Langhe Bianco

The GD Vajra estate can be found in the highest village in the Barolo zone, Vergne. Created in 1972, the winery takes its name from Giuseppe Domenico Vajra. The family have been tending vines since the 1920’s. Today the 40 hectare estate is managed by Aldo and Milena. Although the line is blurred these days, the winery is considered “traditional”. The Barolo’s are macerated for 20 to 30 days, and matured in old Slavonian oak “botti” barrels. They have vineyard holdings in the communes of Fossati, Coste de Vergne and La Volta. Their prized plot in Bricco delle Viole was planted by Aldo’s father in 1947.
