G.D. Vajra is in the town of Barolo, in Piedmont. The family vineyards were first worked by Aldo Vaira when he was still in high school. He was 15 in May 1968 and spent that summer at his grandparents' farm in Barolo.
The vineyards sit at high altitude. Bricco delle Viole is the one the estate points to as the model of its climats, a south-sloping site.
The Barolo DOCG wines include Albe, Coste di Rose, Ravera and Bricco delle Viole.
