2023 G.D. Vajra Langhe Nebbiolo
Piedmont, Italy
$54.00
Varietal truth, purity of aromatics and depth are the elements we long for, in our Langhe DOC Nebbiolo. The fruit is picked in the earliest hours of the day. A gentle and long maceration retains the lift and energy of this wine. The wine is bright ruby red in colour with intense notes of violet and rose, accompanied by the freshness of ripe red berry fruits on the nose. This is an elegant Nebbiolo with herbaceous notes and perfumes of roses and red berries complemented by silky tannins and delicate acidity.
These grapes come from young Nebbiolo vines in Vajra’s own vineyards in the communes of Barolo and Novello. The vines are four to seven years old and will produce Barolo DOCG in several vintages’ time. This Nebbiolo is also enriched by grapes from the wonderful Roccabella vineyard in the commune of Sinio, planted on steep south-facing terraces.
