2016 G.D. Vajra Langhe Nebbiolo

Deep dark red colour with black tinged edges and a bright red hue. Pretty aromatics of roses and spicy red cherries evolve over earth, faint forest floor and dried herbs. Bright elegant feel with juicy red fruit flavours underpinned by vibrant acidity. Elements of earth, forest floor and spicy dried herbs also chime in. Dry finish with slightly chalky tannins. Excellent length with a long spicy ripe red cherry, red liquorice, earthy forest floor and dried herb aftertaste. A great introduction to Nebbiolo.
Cellar 3-4 years.
Alc. 14%

Other Reviews….
Here is another terrific interpretation of Nebbiolo from a vintage that promises fantastic results with this finicky grape. The 2016 Langhe Nebbiolo offers bright floral and fruity intensity with dried violets, cassis, blueberry and forest floor. The effect is fine and elegant, and the wine finishes with smooth silkiness. The fruit is pressed cold at harvest in order to maintain that distinctive crispness and freshness. Drink 2018-2022.
