Description
This wine is an excellent example of Nebiollo made from younger vines 10-25 years old, and exhibits purity of fruit characteristics. The vineyards are spread across the area and therefore have different climatic conditions, so the grapes are all harvested at different times. This varied range of locations and picking times gives the wine an unmistakable complexity. Fermentation for each plot is carried out separately and aged in stainless steel tanks to maintain varietal purity in the wine. From vintage to vintage, the percentage of the plot aged in neutral oak varies - for the most part it is usually a small amount.
The nose of the Vajra Langhe Nebbiolo is lively and bursting with aromas of rose buds, violets, dark fruit and mint. On the palate, the notes on the nose translate and are accompanied by earthy mineral notes. A wine that can be drunk now and has the potential to mature.

Aldo Vajra has always been a bit rebellious. A good thing too, 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 organically farmed from the start. The high altitude of the vineyards (the Bricco delle Viole is one of the highest vineyards in Piedmont) ensures high temperature differences between day and night. The grapes ripen slowly and fully, giving the wines a beautiful finesse and elegance. The relatively cool climate in this area has caused many winemakers to harvest the Dolcetto grape, because this grape needs warmth to fully develop. But the Vajras still make beautiful rosé and red from this grape. Read more under the tab: Winery
