2024 G.D. Vajra Langhe Clare J.C. Nebbiolo [WA91]

"This wine is a stroke of genius and is quickly becoming an icon of the entry-level category of Italian wines. The G.D. Vajra 2021 Langhe Nebbiolo Claré J.C. is all Nebbiolo sourced from various sites with different soil types that are all specific to the Langhe. The wine is luminous and bright with lots of bright cherry and raspberry. My sample showed some very mild trapped CO2, but it only served to create more lift and energy." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Bright pigeon-blood ruby red color. The 2021 Claré JC shows gorgeous cherry and Nebbiolo-skin tones on the nose, with a signature lift and varietal purity. In the palate, the wine reveals the pedigree and signature of this vintage, showing a tad more structured and dry than previous vintages. It will blossom by summer into a lovely bottle for all outdoor and spicy food pairings."
