Persoonlijke gegevens
Coste di Rose, an esteemed Menzione Geografica Aggiuntiva (MGA) in the Comune di Barolo, is a small but very captivating vineyard. It is the pronounced soil composition that gives the Barolo DOCG Coste di Rose its exceptional character. Expect notes of cherry and rose petals, hints of mint and sweet spices, accompanied by velvety tannins and a luscious, juicy mouthfeel.
The 2019 vintage was characterized by an early bud break, followed by a delayed flowering, causing a gradual maturation period. With all these factors combined, it created one of the longest and last harvested vintages of the decade and the 2019 vintage is therefore seen as a top vintage for authentic Barolos and Barberscos with an ideal growing season for the late-flowering Nebbiolo. With such a long aging period, the grapes were blessed with exceptional phenolic ripeness and a prominent backbone of acidity. This is reminiscent of vintage from 2013, which can also age so beautifully.

VAJR
Aldo Vajra has always been a bit rebellious. Good thing, because this characteristic has led to this beautiful winery with its authentic wines. The vineyards of Vajra are located northwest of the town of Barolo and have been farmed organically from the start. The high location of the vineyards (the Bricco delle Viole is one of the highest vineyards in the Piedmont) causes high temperature differences between day and night. The grapes ripen slowly and completely, giving the wines a wonderful finesse and elegance. The relatively cool climate in this area has caused many winemakers to ditch the Dolcetto grape, as this grape needs heat to fully develop. But the Vajras still make beautiful rosé and red from this grape. Read more under the tab: Winery

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | Helder granaatrood met geurige tonen van gedroogde rozen, rijpe bessen en witte peper, ondersteund door een uitgesproken mineraal krijtigheid, frisse zuren en fijne, sierlijke tannines die de wijn elegant en precies maken. Daardoor vormt hij een perfecte partner voor rundvlees en lam omdat de zuren en tannines vet en umami snijden, voor charcuterie omdat de kruiden en zoutigheid de fruitige en peperige tonen accentueren, en voor harde, gerijpte kazen omdat de structuur en mineraliteit tegen het vet opwegen; extra goed werken langzaam gestoofde of gereduceerde bereidingen zoals ossobuco en stoofvlees, gegrilde of rosé gebakken lamskoteletten met rozemarijn en geroosterde paddenstoelen of truffel, en stevig gerijpte kazen geserveerd op kamertemperatuur. |

White pepper, dried roses, berries and mineral on the nose. Really elegant and chalky on the palate with medium to full body and a linear finish. Pure and driven. Drink or hold.

From: 2020 Barolo: Selective Excellence (Jan 2024)
The 2020 Barolo Coste di Rose is an attractive, mid-weight wine. Black cherry, lavender, spice, menthol and licorice are nicely woven together. The Coste di Rose is not the most complex Barolo in the range but offers tons of sheer appeal, in a sensual, open-knit style that can be enjoyed with minimal cellaring.

Situated in the renowned Barolo appellation, this enchanting estate has been crafting exceptional wines for generations, capturing the essence of the land and the profound stories that shaped their journey.

He continued to innovate with the plantings of less traditional varieties such as Riesling and Pinot Noir. The Vajra family to this day remain steadfast in their commitment to sustainable practices, seeking to preserve the natural biodiversity of their vineyards for generations to come.
The Vajra family's winemaking journey is a testament to their unwavering love for their heritage. With a blend of tradition and innovation, they have honed their craft over the years, producing wines that carry the spirit of their ancestors. Whether it's the iconic Barolo, the elegant Dolcetto, or the vibrant Barbera, each bottle is a reflection of the Vajra family's deep-rooted passion and dedication.
