G.D. Vajra, Nebbiolo, Barolo "Coste Di Rose" Piedmont, Italy 2020

100% Nebbiolo

The 2020 Barolo Coste di Rose is elegant and finessed, with serious structure beneath. Hibiscus, red berries, black cherries, mint, white pepper and all sweet spices all emerge from the glass. The palate presents chiseled tannins with delicate floral tones. Great aromatics, varietal authenticity and gorgeous tannins are the signatures of 2020. Forward and approachable today, it has an amazing future as an aged wine, too.

Coste di Rose is one of Barolo’s best kept secrets. It is located on a steep slope, hidden from the village, that rises from Bosco della Fava and descends swiftly towards Monforte d’Alba

At the top of the Coste di Rose vineyard is a five-meter tall dune of pure sandstone, witness to the unique soil composition of Coste di Rose. These sands provide Barolo DOCG Coste di Rose with its distinctive character: tones of cherry and rose petals, mint and sweet spices, a silky tannin and a juicy sip.
