If you have trouble getting used to the big tannic wines of Barolo and Barbaresco, this wine may give you an entry point. It gives you the beautiful aromas and flavors of these wines in a fresh, approachable, early drinking style. The estate calls it a "hug from Piedmont." And what a hug it is. Vajra's Langhe Rosso is a blend of Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto with small quantities of Albarossa, Freisa and Pinot Noir.
Bright ruby/violet color. Every bit as fresh and expressive as the Nizza Barbera (see below) plus riper, richer fruit. Red berries, plums, black pepper and Asian spices. Concentrated flavors. Already complex. At abouit $15 a bottle, this wine is always a good addition to your dinner table.
