Langhe Pinot Nero, Vajra

LANGHE PINOT NERO

D.O.C.

Description

We know that when one door closes, another one opens. The prohibition of planting Nebbiolo at an altitude of 497 meters, made the desire blossom to confront ourselves with a delicate variety like Pinot Noir. The result is a humble tribute to Pinot, in Piedmont style and limited production

Variety

100% Pinot Noir, partly clonal selection and partly massal selection

Vineyards and terroir

From the highest part of the Bricco delle Viole, also called Bricco di Vergne, between Barolo and La Morra. Here, the eye oversees the Alta Langa to the East and Monviso on the West

Tasting notes

With an intense and bright color, the Pinot Nero 2014 is fresher than the previous vintage. The rich structure is accompanied by great delicacy and aromatic finesse, playing with the dominant note of marasca cherry. Being savory, it surprises with its persistent and deep aroma range

Curiosity

- The vineyard was planted in 1999, but the first vintage bottled dates ‘only’ to 2006
- Between 2006 and 2011, the wine was labeled as Langhe Rosso PN Q497, where Q indicated the elevation of the vineyard
- Vajra with his modesty does not like to show his Pinot. You should ask for it anyway… there could still be a bottle hidden somewhere
