GD Vajra Dolcetto d'Alba Coste & Fossati 2023 Bottle size: 750ml
Italy, Piedmont
R445
‘The 2023 Dolcetto d'Alba, Coste & Fossati Vajra's top Dolcetto, takes varietal notes and amplifies them, adding notable mid-palate richness and body, partly through a super-classic vinification that includes submerged cap maceration. Iron, dried flowers, mint, plum, sage and tobacco build as this deep, layered Dolcetto shows off its pedigree. I love its dynamic energy and overall complexity. 2025-2033’ – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 92/100
‘A peppery dolcetto with blackberries, violets and a touch of asphalt. The palate reveals rich yet tightly wound dark fruit, with precise tannins and a concise finish.’ – James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, 92/100

| Producer information | GD Vajra estate is named after Giuseppe Domenico Vajra who founded the estate in 1972. Located in the highest village of Barolo, the vineyards are run by Giuseppe's son Aldo and his family. The vineyards sit at high altitudes of up to 400 metres, this creates thermal changes which ripen the fruit slowly and allow the concentration of noble and delicate aromas. GD Vjara have been pioneers of organic farming since 1971. |
