G.D. VAJRA Langhe Nebbiolo 2024/25 Bottle VGN/VEG/ORG

Description

G.D. Vajra Langhe Nebbiolo 2024 honours a family tradition rooted in Bricco delle Viole since the 1880s and reflects Aldo Vajra’s revival of the estate from 1968, offering bright, youthful poise and clear site expression. Light garnet in the glass, the wine opens with fragrant floral notes of geranium and fresh rose petal, accompanied by a lifted red berry perfume. A subtle thread of dried herb and a whisper of red tea add complexity and gently savoury detail without diminishing the florality.

Winemaking here is respectful and restrained, focused on varietal purity and reflecting the high altitude and cool nights of the vineyards, which preserve aromatic lift. The result is a Langhe Nebbiolo that channels Nebbiolo’s classic floral signature and Piedmontese minerality at an accessible, everyday level. Drink now for fragrant pleasure, or cellar for three to five years to see perfume and tertiary nuance evolve.

Serve slightly cool at 15 to 17°C with Pasta al ragù, roasted poultry, mushroom risotto or medium matured cheeses, dishes that complement the wine’s acidity and floral fruit. G.D. Vajra Langhe Nebbiolo 2024 is elegant, precise and food friendly, a fine expression of family heritage, site and thoughtful winemaking.

The 2024 Langhe Nebbiolo is a very pretty wine in this challenging vintage. Aromatic, light on its feet and super expressive, the 2024 is such a delight. Crushed red berry fruit, white pepper, chalk, mint and a kick of orange peel all grace this ethereal, lifted Langhe Nebbiolo from the Vajra family. - Antonio Galloni, January 2026
