2023 G.D. Vajra Langhe Rosso Piedmont
Why Tony D. loves this wine: "A veritable pantheon of Piedmonte giants comprise this blend. Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto play the staring role but not to be outshined by the presence of some more esoteric varietals like Freisa and Albarossa. All separately vinified and blended after maturing, it shows a wonderfully fresh, but firm and serious Piedmonte red for a fantastic value. Red fruits like tart cherry and red raspberry are accompanied by incense, red flowers, and a distinct rustic earthy quality. Tannins are well incorporated on the palate along with fresh acidity and a heartiness that belies its color. Every time I have featured this wine at a tasting, it always sells out. It remains one of my favorite values in all of Italy and perhaps all the wine-growing world."
Winemaker Notes: Red colour with violet hues, refers to the sweetness of a dark fruit with refined elegance. Intense and rich on the nose, it is both concentrated and harmonious: flowers and fruits to give way to hay, tobacco, spices. Bright summer berries on the palate with graphite veins lead to the discovery of a series of sensations. Our Langhe Rosso is a hug from Piedmont. It’s an invitation to explore its different varieties and to get to know its personality. From young vineyards, it is a fruity delicately complex wine: an ideal companion at the table. Predominantly Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto. Smaller quantities of Freisa, Albarossa, Pinot Noir.
