DESCRIPTION: Coste di Rose is a small MGA in Comune di Barolo. It is located on a steep slope that arises from Bosco della Fava and descends swiftly towards the border with Monforte d’Alba. The greatest emotion is the one you feel when reaching the top of the vineyard: a five-meter tall dune of pure Arenarie di Diano stands out there, as the witness of the unique soil composition of Coste di Rose. These sands provide Barolo DOCG Coste di Rose with its distinctive character: tones of cherry and rose petals, mint and sweet spices, a silky tannin and a juicy sip.
VARIETAL: 100% Nebbiolo.
VINEYARD AND TERROIR: Coste di Rose MGA, Comune di Barolo.
GROWING: In 1971, Aldo Vaira was one of the earliest to adopt organic farming practices in Piemonte. The winery holds both organic and sustainable practices certifications. Vineyards have been nurtured and soil preserved by grassing and cover crop for almost 50 years now. They are sustainable and organic certified. With an incredible ratio of manual work per hectare, farming at Vajra is a labor of love and “recipe-free” attention. Intense research is also placed into monitoring and improving the biodiversity of both flora and fauna not just in the vineyards, but also in the winery fields and forests. G.D. Vajra
