GD Vajra Langhe Rosso, 2020

The winery describes this as "a hug from Piedmont." And what a hug it is! GD Vajra's Langhe Rosso is an array of the riches of Piedmont wine: Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, Freisa, Pinot Noir a few other grapes. And the result is pure pleasure.

Bright red with violet tones. Voluptuous aromatics of Nebbiolo--rose petals, cherries, black licorice--but also the subtle scents typical of Barbera, Dolcetto, Freisa and Pinot Noir. Extremely friendly on the palate but with no sacrifice of depth or complexity. A wine that comes at your palate from all directions with subtle and ever changing flavors. Would match well with any meal from pizza to beef bourguignon.
