The Barolo “Coste di Rose” by G.D. Vajra is a true expression of grace and elegance, a wine of remarkable finesse born from ancient sandstone-rich soils that lend it complexity and depth. Aged for 36 months in oak casks, it is a voluptuous and food-friendly Barolo. The nose reveals intense aromas of cherry and ripe red fruit, followed by delicate rose petals, hints of mint, and a touch of vanilla. On the palate, it is juicy and vibrant, with notes of black cherry, silky tannins beautifully integrated into its solid structure, and a distinctive salty finish. Soft, satisfying, and full of charm, it pairs beautifully with traditional Piedmontese dishes, roasted meats, braised courses, and rich pasta dishes. A refined expression of Barolo.
