The wine shows a bright ruby-red colour and an alluring bouquet of wild cherries, dried rose petals and a touch of liquorice and spice. On the palate it is elegant and precise, with silky tannins and a lively acidity that provides both freshness and length. The finish reveals notes of ripe strawberries, a hint of orange zest and a fine mineral edge that reflects the terroir.
\nThe Langhe region in Piedmont is one of Italy\u2019s most renowned wine areas, famous for its rolling hills, calcareous soils and unique microclimate that creates ideal conditions for the Nebbiolo grape. G.D. Vajra\u2019s vineyards are planted at elevations of up to 400 metres above sea level, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly. The combination of warm days and cool nights preserves their natural acidity and aromatic complexity.
\nThis wine is made exclusively from hand-harvested Nebbiolo grapes, carefully sorted to ensure the highest quality. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with gentle extraction to preserve the variety\u2019s characteristic elegance. After fermentation, the wine undergoes malolactic conversion before ageing for about 12\u201318 months in large Slavonian oak casks.
\nAbout G.D. Vajra
\nG.D. Vajra is a relatively young winery for Piedmont \u2013 and probably the first in the region to adopt organic viticulture. Beautifully situated in the hills near the village of Barolo and surrounded by the Alps, its vineyards allow the grapes to ripen slowly, developing refined, fruit-forward character.
\nBarolo is often associated with prestige and exclusivity, but Vajra\u2019s philosophy is different: wine should bring joy and be accessible to all. Under the motto \u201cLife is beautiful\u201d, they create colourful, vibrant wines meant to be enjoyed on an ordinary Tuesday as much as on a festive occasion.
\nThe Vajra style is characterised by elegance and freshness \u2013 often compared to Burgundy \u2013 thanks to vineyards located around 400 metres above sea level. Since its founding in 1972, the estate has expanded to 40 hectares, with Nebbiolo at its core. The wines are traditionally vinified with long maceration and ageing in large Slavonian oak, while also making use of subtle modern techniques such as temperature-controlled fermentation. The result is pure, stable wines with long ageing potential and a true expression of Piedmontese tradition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
