GD Vajra Langhe Rosso, 2018

G. D. Vajra's Langhe Rosso is a blend of heirloom varieties, including Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto and the rare Freisa and Albarossa.  It is an authentic expression of Piemonte. It goes down a little too easily, and is a gorgeous wine to pair with food.  Fruit is collected from a range of vineyards in Barolo, La Morra, Novello, Sinio and Serralunga.  10 months of aging, 95% in stainless-steel tanks, 5% in neutral oak barrels. It is red in color with violet hues. Intense and rich on the nose, it is both concentrated and harmonious: flowers and fruits then hay, tobacco, spices. Bright summer berries on the palate.  Langhe DOC Rosso, Italy
