Review Date: 01/2026Pop rocks meet purple plums in this electric Dolcetto that refuses to sit still. Violets and damson fruits burst from the glass with teenage energy, while the palate crackles with fresh blackberries and bright acidity. It's the kind of wine that makes you wish all serious things could be this much fun. — Jeff Porter (JP)

Notes
The 2024 G.D. Vajra Dolcetto d'Alba is a vibrant and energetic expression of the variety, reflecting Aldo Vaira’s commitment to growing Dolcetto in high-altitude, prime vineyard sites. On the nose, it opens with an expressive burst of blueberry, damson plum, and redcurrant, layered with delicate floral undertones of violet and a hint of white pepper. The palate is light-to-medium bodied and remarkably "crunchy," balancing a juicy core of forest fruits with bright acidity and fine, youthful tannins. It finishes with a clean, savory lift and a characteristic touch of bitter almond and licorice, making it an incredibly convivial wine that is best enjoyed slightly chilled.
