G.D. Vajra Langhe Rosso, 2020

G.D. Vajra's Langhe Rosso is always a delight to drink. It is a blend of Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, Freisa. Albarossa and Pinot Noir--all from the Piedmont.

Medium dark ruby with some orangeish tints, though not as much as you would expect from 100% Nebbiolo. The aroma, though, is pure Nebbiolo--very floral with dark cherries and pomegranates. Bright fruit on the palate with dark licorice on the finish. Engaging but maybe not quite as vibrant as bottles we had a few years ago. Even with a good portion of Nebbiolo, this is a wine to drink early and often.
