Barolo DOCG 'Coste di Rose' 2016 (750 ml.) G.D. Vajra
The Barolo “Coste di Rose” by G.D. Vajra is the emblem of grace and elegance, a wine of rare finesse that originates from soils rich in ancient sandstones, capable of imparting complexity and depth. Aged for 36 months in oak barrels, it presents itself as a Barolo voluptuous and surprisingly versatile at the table. On the nose, it features intense notes of cherry and ripe red fruit, accompanied by delicate rose petals, minty nuances, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, it is juicy and vibrant, with tones of sour cherry, silky tannins well integrated into the structure, and a pleasant salty aftertaste. Soft, satisfying, and rich in charm, it pairs perfectly with traditional Piedmontese dishes, roasts, braises, and elaborate first courses. An excellence to discover.

Located in the municipality of Barolo, the winery produces strongly territorial wines, starting from all the most typical grape varieties of the area.
A family-run business, where two generations work side by side, creating a blend of dynamism and loyalty to the oldest local traditions, combined with a special attention to the most modern technical and scientific innovations that progress is currently able to offer: mass selections, treatments carried out with the utmost respect for the territory and nature using synthetic products only where strictly necessary.
