G.D. Vajra, Nebbiolo, Langhe DOC, Piedmont, Italy 2023 1.5L

100% Nebbiolo

The 2023 Langhe DOC Nebbiolo has a lively light garnet color. On the nose, it offers loads of delicate flowers, like geranium, rose petals, crushed mountain raspberry and mineral whiffles. On the palate, the wine is fresh, juicy and pulpy, with tones of cherries, sour cherry, fresh strawberry, and spicy notes.

Varietal truth, purity of aromatics and depth are the elements in G.D. Vajra's Langhe DOC Nebbiolo. The fruit is picked in the early hours of the day. A gentle and long maceration retains the lift and energy of this wine.

The Vajra family has farmed Bricco delle Viole, the highest cru in Comune di Barolo, since the 1880s. At the young age of fifteen, Aldo Vajra embraced the dream to revive his family legacy. Displaying a vision and commitment belying his young age he took over the estate in 1968, turning a new page.

Today, the family has 40 Ha under vine. High elevation vineyards are a unique factor to Vajra wines, allowing them to express finesse and remarkable complexity over simple power. Attention to detail and humility toward nature, uncompromised efforts and humanity, these are the ideals of the Vajra family: Aldo and Milena, now joined by their children Giuseppe, Francesca and Isidoro, and by an amazing team of young professionals. G.D. Vajra is an independent winery, entirely family-owned.
