G.D. Vajra Nebbiolo Langhe: This Nebbiolo Langhe from G.D. Vajra is a testament to the elegance and complexity of the Nebbiolo grape. The wine features a medium ruby color, and the aroma is filled with red fruits, roses, and a hint of tar. On the palate, it offers flavors of cherry, raspberry, and a touch of spice, complemented by firm tannins and a balanced acidity, making it an excellent choice for a variety of Italian dishes and aged cheeses.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Review - Rated 91 (2022 vintage):
The G.D. Vajra 2022 Langhe Nebbiolo has so much bright freshness and primary intensity. This is a lovely entry-level wine and one that I warmly recommend to lovers of Nebbiolo who are also conscious of price. The wine sings from the glass with violet, sour cherry, raspberry, bitter almond and rose hip. There is a very ruby-colored, almost grenadine-like quality as well.
Jeb Dunnuck Review - Rated 91 (2022 vintage):
A deeper shade of ruby although fully transparent, the 2022 Langhe Nebbiolo reveals a hint of blue fruit followed by more sapidity and flowers coming through in its floral and fruit notes, including wild mixed berries. These 2022s are a touch more grounded in nature in this vintage, with more grip and gravitas as well as more glycerol depth, but this wine is still fresh, with ripe tannins and notes of black tea. There shouldn’t be any rush to drink this now, since it’s going to develop some real character over the next several years.
