2021 Barolo 'Coste di Rose', G.D. Vajra

From very sandy soils, this is a very perfumed wine with a breath of rose petal, fresh peach and nectarine. The tannins are very fine grained and silky in feel with a delicious red cherry emphasis on the finish. A total of 54 days of maceration this year.

Tasting notes

The G.D. Vajra 2021 Barolo Coste di Rose (a certified organic wine) is especially fragrant and floral in this vintage. It could be the power of suggestion given the wine's name ("slope of roses"), but you absolutely get hints of heritage rose or rose hip in this beautiful Nebbiolo. The 2021 vintage hits the ball out of the park. There are characteristic hints of tar and something that reminds me of oil paints or linseed oil. I love the clarity of the mouthfeel.

The 2021 Barolo Coste di Rose is soft and quite supple, qualities that make it easy to taste, even in the early going. Crushed flowers, dried cherry, mint, rose petal are nicely lifted in this understated, quiet Barolo. This comes across as quite open for a young Barolo.
