Tasting Note Vajra Langhe Nebbiolo
The wine has an inviting, vibrant nose with aromas of roses, violets, berries, dark fruit, lavender, and mint. Elegant and complex on the palate with layers of juicy red fruit, orange zest, and sweet spices, supported by earthy and mineral notes. Already beautiful to drink young, the wine will develop nicely over the coming years.
Food Pairing
The G.D. Vajra Langhe Nebbiolo is an elegant and versatile wine that pairs beautifully with both classic Piedmontese cuisine and refined international dishes. Think of fresh pasta with ragù, creamy mushroom risotto, grilled lamb, or duck with a fruity sauce. This Nebbiolo also shines alongside ripe cheeses like Taleggio and Fontina. Serve it slightly cooler, around 16°C, for an optimal expression of its fruity aromas and refined structure.
Additional Information
An ode to the purity of the Nebbiolo grape. The grapes are harvested from younger vineyards, aged 10 to 25 years, spread across various plots of the estate. The differences in soil and exposure create a unique dynamic: some grapes ripen earlier than others, requiring multiple harvesting rounds to select only the very best fruit.
After the harvest, each plot ferments separately for approximately 19 days, after which the wine continues to age in stainless steel and, depending on the vintage, a small portion in used (neutral) oak. This allows the character of the grape to shine through as much as possible.
Aldo Vajra of the eponymous winery Vajra has always been a bit of a rebel. Just as well, as this quality has led to this magnificent winery with its authentic wines. The story begins when, at fifteen, Aldo is pulled off the street by his father during a demonstration in Turin and sent to his grandparents' farm. Aldo spends much of that summer in the vineyards, where his interest in winemaking is sparked. He joins Suole e Salute, an organization for organic wines in Italy. Already at the age of 18, he produces his first organic wines in Piedmont.
