G D Vajra 2006 Luigi Baudana Cerretta Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- $85
Very different from the Bricco delle Viole cru expression from the same producer, this wine offers bold, ripe fruit with lingering tones of red cherry, leather, charcoal and campfire. The fruit is thick and succulent and the finish offers sweet, succulent spice flavors. Multiple U.S. importers.

G D Vajra 2006 Bricco delle Viole Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- $75
Barolo Bricco delle Viole is a lush and generous wine with a bright ruby color and attractively intense aromas of cherry, wild berry, nutmeg, clove, powdered licorice and root beer. The oak influence is still obvious at this early stage, but will no doubt integrate with time. The mouthfeel is exceedingly soft, smooth and velvety. You don’t need to wait too many…

G D Vajra 2007 Albe Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- $38
Barolo Albe opens with very dark concentration and a thick, inky consistency that is peppered with bright aromas of ripe strawberry, raspberry roll-up, prune, spice and leather. The close is characterized by sweet berry flavors and this upfront, dense wine will probably be ready to drink in 2–3 years.

G D Vajra 2004 Bricco delle Viole Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- Online Exclusive
- $83
Bricco delle Viole has a thorny, slightly nervous personality that needs a few more years of cellar aging before softening. Aromas include dill, dried herbs, turmeric, forest berry and bramble. The mouthfeel is sharp and polished with bright berry nuances and crisp acidity. Drink this wine with cream- or butter-based dishes.

G D Vajra 1997 Barbera (Barbera d'Alba)
- $17
A full dark-cherry, herb and toast nose. A slight funky note may put off some people, but there’s very good depth of fruit here; concentrated and rich. The fruit shines with a classic tartness nicely framed by oak.

G D Vajra 2004 Albe Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- Online Exclusive
- $45
Like Bricco delle Viole, Barolo Albe also has a slightly thorny, nervous character but ultimately this wine is softer and more approachable than the latter. Aroma-wise, there’s a lot going on here: layers of spice, earth and pressed flowers mingle with black fruit and chopped mint.

G D Vajra 1997 Coste & Fossati Dolcetto (Dolcetto d'Alba)
- $18
Shows a very inviting nose of cherries, herbs, chocolate and toast. Has positive cherry, lime and licorice flavors, and a ripe, medium-full mouthfeel. Handsome and solid.

G D Vajra 1997 Dolcetto (Dolcetto d'Alba)
- $13
Candied cherries and mint aromas. Light, clean and well balanced, with juicy but tart black-cherry flavors. Not deep, but definitely bright and correct. Best Buy.
