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.
