2024 Vajra, G.D. - Langhe Nebbiolo DOC (750ml)
The 2024 Vajra Langhe Nebbiolo DOC arrives as a brightly fruited, early-drinking expression of Piedmont’s premier red grape. Designed for near-term enjoyment, this vintage captures the hallmark aromatic profile of Nebbiolo—crushed strawberry, dried lavender, and savory tobacco—delivered across a medium-weight frame with brisk acidity and gently rounded tannins.
Tasting Notes
Unlike longer-aged Barolo or Barbaresco reserves, the Langhe designation prioritizes freshness and approachability. The palate reveals layers of red plum and forest floor, culminating in a clean, mineral-driven finish that encourages sipping within two to five years of release. Decanting for thirty minutes allows the primary fruit to expand and harmonize with subtle spice undertones.
Suggested Food Pairings
This wine’s balanced structure makes it versatile at the table. It pairs seamlessly with traditional Piedmontese preparations like tajarin pasta tossed with brown butter and Parmesan, or slow-braised lamb shoulder. Its acidity also cuts through smoked meats, hard aged cheeses, and mushroom-based vegetarian dishes.
Available in a standard 750ml bottle, this 2024 release provides a reliable, restaurant-quality Italian red that delivers complexity without requiring long-term cellaring. Purchase now to secure a highly anticipated seasonal addition.
