2016 Barolo Blend 233, G. D. Vajra, Piedmont
Dry | Red | Still | 14.5%
This 2016 Barolo from G.D. Vajra was bottled exclusively for Lay & Wheeler, and is from a blend of vineyards all planted on the Tortonian soils of the west of the Barolo zone. The resulting wine is perfumed and pure, with incredibly silky tannins, notes of rose petal and terracotta, and a core of cherry fruit. There’s the structure for this to last decades if you’ll let it, but it’s already delicious. It’s a wine we couldn’t be prouder to have secured: make sure it’s in your cellar.
Ready: 2021 - 2040
