Located in northwestern Italy, the Piemonte region is defined by its complex topography, bounded by the Alps to the north and west, and the Apennines to the south.
This geographical positioning creates a distinct continental climate characterized by significant diurnal temperature variations and a unique thermal inversion effect, locally known for its autumn mists, nebbia.
The region’s premium viticulture is predominantly situated on the sedimentary clay, limestone, and marl soils of the Langhe, Roero, and Monferrato hills, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Langhe, Roero and Monferrato hills represent one of Europe’s most renowned wine-growing regions, where centuries of viticultural tradition meet innovation, sustainability and territorial excellence.
Piemonte Land of Wine was founded on 29 July 2011 to offer Piedmontese wine consortia a meeting point to exchange views, to identify operativity and common strategies useful for the promotion of Piedmontese wine in Italy and worldwide.
Piemonte Land, which today represents all 14 wine consortia officially authorised by the Ministry of Agriculture, promotes the more than 44,000 hectares of Piedmontese vineyards, which extend from the provinces of Alessandria, Asti and Cuneo to the foothills of the Alps.
A great oenological heritage, 80% of which is made up of the 19 DOCG and 41 regional DOC wines.
The first Italian experience of sharing promotional policies between Consortia, Piemonte Land continues its work unceasingly in favour not only of wines, but also of agrifood excellence and the beauty of one of the most important wine-growing regions in the world, whose territories became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014.

High-elevation vineyards are a defining factor of Vajra wines, providing a unique microclimate that allows the grapes to express finesse and remarkable complexity over raw power.
Aldo and Milena, now joined by their children Giuseppe, Francesca, and Isidoro, alongside their exceptional team, guide the estate with strict attention to detail, humility toward nature, uncompromised effort, and humanity.
As an independent, entirely family-owned winery, G.D. Vajra pioneered organic farming practices in Piemonte, adopting them as early as 1971.
