Vergne, the highest village in the Commune of Barolo, with vineyards planted at heights of 350-400 metres, sees later ripening than other areas and crus, with the result that the wines have always been recognised as quite distinctive, with youthfully ample aromas, showing prominent but judicious acidity, generous fruit always lively and crisp, whose primary stylistic signature is their aromatic elegance.
Expressing these qualities and ensuring their full expression in every wine is the goal of Milena and Aldo Vaira; she came from Cervere, terroir renowned for its leeks, and he from Torino, but both have been toiling since the early 1970s in the vineyards of Aldo’s father, Giuseppe Domenico, gradually increasing the area under vine to the current 40 hectares, located in such strategic spots as Bricco delle Viole, Fossati, La Volta, Coste di Vergne, and finally succeeding in forging a unique winery style and an absolutely personal working method both in cellar and vineyard.
Dedicated, passionate winegrowers, but low-keyed and always sensitive to the human side of every equation in their profession as wine producers, and regarding themselves as instruments enabling nature and their environment full self-expression through their wines, the Vajras incarnated their distinctive way of thinking and working in the very concrete terms of their wine cellar, light years removed from a cold, aseptic laboratory
Brilliant gold in aspect with notes of passion fruit and peach nectar on the nose, before a light, smooth palate of apricot, peach and quince, with some underlying mineral notes. Serve as an aperitif, with light spicy cuisine, or cold cuts.
