G. D. Vajra is a family-owned winery known for its dedication to producing wines that respect tradition while embracing innovation. Located in the heart of Barolo, the estate is renowned for its attention to detail and sustainable practices, focusing on crafting wines that express the authentic flavors of Piemonte. The Rosabella Rosato is a prime example of Vajra’s commitment to quality, offering a unique rosé that balances elegance, freshness, and complexity.The vineyards used for the 2023 Rosabella Rosato are situated on the rolling hills of Piemonte, where the combination of cool nights and warm days helps preserve the grapes’ natural acidity and vibrant aromatics. The calcareous and clay-rich soils of the region contribute to the wine’s mineral backbone, enhancing its crisp and refreshing nature. The 2023 vintage benefited from these ideal conditions, resulting in a rosé that is both expressive and refined.

Winemaking Process

The 2023 G. D. Vajra Rosabella Rosato is crafted with a blend of traditional Piemonte grape varieties, including Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto. After a gentle pressing, the juice is fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks to maintain its fresh fruit character and delicate aromas. The wine is aged briefly on its lees to enhance texture and complexity, resulting in a rosé that is light, lively, and beautifully balanced.
