Description

The 2022 G.D. Vajra Barolo Coste di Rose is a single-vineyard Nebbiolo from a steep, sandy site in the commune of Barolo. Its distinctive Diano sandstone soils shape an aromatic expression, with red cherry, cranberry and strawberry alongside violet, rose, fresh mint, orange zest and sweet spice.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied and elegant with lively acidity, juicy red fruit and fine, granular tannins. A 47-day maceration builds structure before 22 months in large Slavonian oak casks, preserving the wine’s floral character and freshness. The finish is long and mineral-driven, with red fruit and crushed-stone notes.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Barolo drinkers who enjoy fragrant Nebbiolo with silky tannins, savoury detail and mineral structure. Enjoy with decanting when young or cellar for further development. Pair with mushroom risotto, truffle pasta, braised beef, roast lamb or aged cheeses.

About the region

Piedmont · Barolo

Piedmont, or Piemonte, sits in Italy's north-west under the Alps. Its great grape is Nebbiolo, which ripens late, is often picked in autumn fog, and reaches its fullest expression in the Langhe hills at Barolo and Barbaresco. Those wines are pale and firmly tannic when young, and turn to tar, dried rose and truffle with age. Alongside them Barbera and Dolcetto supply the everyday reds, and Moscato d'Asti the sweet, lightly sparkling whites.
