2022 G.D Vajra Langhe Rosso
$40.00
Place: Piedmont, Italy
Variety: Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, Freisa, Albarossa, Pinot Noir
Farming: Sustainable
A perennial favourite of ours, reliable as your café’s latte and pub’s parma. Made by a good, serious Barolo producer with care, not afterthought.
Predominantly Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto, with soupçons of Freisa, Albarossa and Pinot Noir, all hand-harvested and individually fermented as though they were to be their own wine. Deftly blended before at least 18 months hibernation in steel followed by a shorter nap in new-ish (1-3y/o) oak. Generous and precise at once.
