G.D. Vajra was born out of a revolutionary spirit. In 1968, a 15-year-old Aldo Vaira was banished to his grandparents' property in Barolo after getting mixed up in political protests. Aldo’s youthful energies quickly transferred to farming and within a few years he took over his family’s estate. The revolutionary spirit is evidenced in G.D. Vajra being the first winery in the Barolo region to to adopt organic farming, which occured in 1971. In addition in 1985 they were the first to plant Riesling.

Vajra is a champion of some of the lesser appreciated indigenous grapes of Piedmont including Dolcetto, Barbera and Freisa. They also make three single vineyard Barolos including the incredible Bricco delle Viole from a vineyard, that at 1,500 feet, is amongst the highest in the comune di Barolo.

Today the estate is still run on organic principles by Aldo, his wife Milena and his children Giuseppe, Francesca and Isidoro.
