Historically, Dolcetto was cultivated in prime land, just above Nebbiolo vineyards. Loyal to this approach, the Vajra family keeps farming this variety in places of true vocation. Grapes are sourced from four of the estate's own vineyards: Coste di Vergne, Fossati and Pascolo in the Barolo region and Ravera in the Novello region. The vines are trained in mixed Guyot system and planting dates range from 1982-2002. The soil is a mix of limestone and marl. Aldo Vaira has grown his lands following organic practices since 1971. After 50 years of organic and sustainable farming, all the Vajra vineyards are sustainable and organic certified from 2019 vintage.
