G.D. Vajra Langhe Rosso, 2020

 

The winemaker describes this as a "hug from Piedmont." It is produced from young vines of Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera with smaller quantities of Albarossa, Freisa and Pinot Noir. It is not just a hug but several sweet kisses.

Reddish violet. Flowers and fresh fruit in the aromas Red berries and plums with hints of cinnamon and mint. Lifted flavors on the mid-palate and a long, lovely finish. From the winemaker: "fruity delicately complex." 

Vajra makes many great Barolos for long aging. This Rosso is for current enjoyment, although I am sure that this bottle is better than the ones we had several years ago.
