Vajra's Langhe DOC Nebbiolo is a pure expression of this grape variety, a "picture" of Nebbiolo fruit and its aromas.
TASTING NOTES 2009:
A transparent ruby
red with an intense, expressive bouquet of violet, rose and berries.
The Nebbiolo grape shows itself especially on the palate. It is fresh
and well balanced with silky tannins leading into a long finish.
Sharing the structure, perfumes, and
elegance of a Barolo, our Langhe Nebbiolo is much simpler, showing
another face of the Nebbiolo grape.
