2024 Vajra, G. D. - Langhe Nebbiolo DOC Clare JC (750ml)
750ml | SKU 101590 |

DESCRIPTION: Claré JC is a unique wine, our take on the forgotten days of
Nebbiolo, when it was enjoyed in its lighter and fresher garment. The winemaking
protocol follows the 1606 writings of G.B. Croce, jeweler of the House of Savoia:
the wine is bottled soon after the fermentation so as to retain a gentle off-dry
finish and a lovely energy.
VARIETY: 100% Nebbiolo.
VINEYARD AND TERROIR: Fruit from our young Nebbiolo vineyards.

A pretty red, with a hint of camphor gracing its core flavors of cherry, raspberry, blackberry and violet. There’s a mineral streak, and light tannins leave their grip on the lingering aftertaste. Drink now through 2033. 2,400 cases made, 200 cases import...

Just mid ruby. Lifted and perfumed raspberry; really opens up in the glass. Touches of exotic spice. Still compact and really youthful. Juicy and with a wave of chewy tannins. Will need more time to fully open up but showing great promise.

VM
The 2021 Barolo Ravera is laced with bright red-toned fruit, iron, spice, cedar, tobacco and dried herbs. Bright acids and beams of tannin give the Ravera its distinctively driving feel. Today, the 2021 is a bit sinewy. I suspect it will always remain a v...

The 2021 Barolo Bricco delle Viole is a wine of stature and breeding. Vertical in shape, the Bricco delle Viole has so much to offer. Dark-toned fruit, leather, incense, gravel and licorice add an attractive savory edge. The 2021 is an especially somber, ...

2024 Vajra, G.D. - Langhe Nebbiolo DOC (750ml)
750ml | SKU 102230 |
33 Available
DESCRIPTION: Varietal truth, purity of aromatics and depth are the elements we
long for in our Langhe DOC Nebbiolo. The fruit is hand-picked in the early hours
of the day to preserve its freshness. A long and gentle maceration retains the
wine’s lift and energy, while delicately weaving in layers of aromatic complexity
that unfold with grace over time.
VARIETY: 100% Nebbiolo.
VINEYARD AND TERROIR: Young vineyards grow across both Tortonian and
Serravallian valleys, on calcareous soils between 280 and 550 meters above sea
level. These sites enjoy bright exposures and a natural ventilation that favors the
elegance and lift typical of Nebbiolo.
GROWING: In 1971, Aldo Vajra, then still a university student, was one of the
earliest to adopt organic farming in Piemonte.
Vineyards have been nurtured, and soil preserved, by grassing and spontaneous
cover crop for almost 50 years now. They are sustainable and organic certified.
With an incredible ratio of manual work per hectare, farming at Vajra is a labor of
love and “recipe-free” attention. Intense research is also placed into monitoring
and improving the biodiversity of both flora and fauna not just in the vineyards,
but also in the winery fields and forests.
VINTAGE: 2024 is set to deliver wines of fresh aromatics, moderate alcohol level
and irresistible drinkability. Winter came late and so did the snow on the mountains.
Budbreak was first recorded on March 11th, threatened by frost a month later.
Starting in May, abundant rain marked the growing season, causing sustained
fungal pressure and intense vineyard work. Temperatures rose eventually, turning
2024 into a warm vintage, with a significant hailstorm episode in early August on
the western slopes between La Morra and Novello. Harvest started on August
30th and finished - intertwined by numerous rainfalls - on October 24th.This was
one of the most demanding vintages since 1972, with close-to-heroic work in the
vineyards. We are proud to confirm that we persevered in our organic commitment
and were able to harvest gorgeous fruit, if in reduced yields.
