2022 G.D. Vajra Langhe Riesling Petracine [V90]

Producer: G.D. Vajra 
Region: Langhe, Piedmont, Italy 
Varietal: Riesling  
Year: 2022 

Vinous, 90 Points 

"The 2022 Riesling Petracine is a beautiful white that marries varietal notes with the natural richness of the year.  Sweet jasmine, tangerine peel, ginger, passionfruit and lemon confit lend exotic beauty to Vajra’s Riesling in 2022.  I imagine time in bottle will bring out more of the textual oiliness that is in background at present." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"In its youth the wine shows classic aromatics of limy citrus and fresh herbs w light mineral texture.  With age, the wine’s mineral backbone comes forward exuding a classic, elegant expression of minerals and bright acidity which widens out to a rich, extremely long wine of unique pedigree.  Truly the luscious bride to Barolo’s groom." 

Alcohol: 12.5%
