G.D Vajra

2011 `Kyè` Langhe Freisa, G.D. Vajra

Piemonte, ItalyVintage: 2011

Freisa is an ancient local grape variety from Langhe that is fighting for survival. Part of the history and identity of Piemonte since ancient times, Freisa is one of the closest relatives of Nebbiolo. This wine is Vajra’s homage to this rare treasure of Langhe.

Deep ruby red colour. Red berries, tobacco, roses, and white pepper with hints of hay and wild herbs on the nose. Full-bodied with balanced acidity and alcohol, this wine is sapid and rich with a long finish of black fruits and spices.

Grapes for this wine are sourced from San Ponzio Vineyard in the Commune of Barolo. They are grown at an altitude of 390-410 metres above sea level, on a clay-rich soil with an assortment of vines selected by Aldo Vaira in an old vineyard planted by his grandfather.

Description

Aldo Vaira’s wines are characterised by pristine flavours and clearly defined perfumes. These characters are attributable to the position of his vineyards at about 400 metres above sea level in the village of Vergne in the commune of Barolo. G.D. Vajra was established in 1972 and named after Aldo’s father, Giuseppe Domenico. Aldo has been gradually increasing the area under vine to 60 hectares, of which 10 are Nebbiolo for Barolo, located in such outstanding sites as Bricco delle Viole, Ravera, Fossati, La Volta, Coste di Vergne and Coste di Rose. A traditionalist, Aldo adheres to old-style winemaking methods, such as long ageing in barrel for his Barolo, but combines this with new techniques, such as judicious use of oak, to produce superbly elegant wines.
