Description

"Violet hints in the colour which is otherwise a beautiful glass of Nebbiolo. Clear primary aromas of fresh fruit and berries with generous ripe red fruit flavours on the nose and palate. Medium body with plenty of gorgeous cherry notes that go long into the finish."

 

--------THE PRODUCER--------

G.D. Vajra

G. D. Vajra are one of the smaller wineries in Piemonte in northwest Italy - and that comes with some steep competition. That said they offer incredible quality across their portfolio and a consistency few can boast of. They are producing some very modern and refreshing wines both red and white. Their Barbera are absolute stand outs!

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo is the red grape varietal behind the King and Queen of Italy's red wine scene: Barolo and Barbaresco. These regions are up in Piemonte where it is also made under the region of Langhe Nebbiolo, which is less complex as the aforementioned regions. Whilst it is not widely planted across the world there are some stunning examples in Australia and California. Red fruits and florals are the hallmarks of Nebbiolo's aromatics and the best examples of Nebbiolo are ageworthy for up to 50 years.

 

--------THE REGION--------

Piemonte

These are all the wines of Piemonte, a region in the northwest of Italy. It is famous for its red wines made from Nebbiolo and is home to the two super regions of Italy: Barolo and Barbaresco.
