Perfumes are vibrant, with a floral bouquet of rose petals, violets and fresh berries, hints of dark fruit,
lavender and mint.

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.
Fruit for this 2018 Langhe DOC Nebbiolo was picked between October 7th and 22nd. Picking decisions are individual to each site, and we sometimes opt for multiple passages so to respect the diversity and uniqueness of each vine.
Fermentation lasted 19 days on average and was followed by spontaneous malolactic fermentation.
Our Langhe Nebbiolo ages an average of 8 to 14 months prior to bottling. The aging is carried in stainless-steel vats with a minor contribution of neutral oak when required by the vintage.
2018 displays a bright ruby red color.
