Red dry
Pinot Nero "PNQ497" is an exceptional wine made from grapes grown in the Bricco delle Viole vineyards at 497 meters above sea level. The wine was named after the altitude of the growing area. The wine was first released on the market with this name in 2006.
The grapes were hand-picked from the best vineyards in the Langhe, carefully selecting only the best berries. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and natural aromatic characteristics. After fermentation, the wine was aged for 18 months in both stainless steel tanks and oak barrels to acquire a balanced structure and intense layers of flavor.
G.D. Vajra Pinot Nero Langhe DOC 2023 is characterized by delicate red berry aromas. A light, refreshing taste combined with soft tannins creates an elegant and harmonious wine.
Serve at 14-16 °C with:
Grilled chicken with herbs;
Pasta with tomato sauce and basil;
Soft cheeses: Brie or Camembert;
Grilled tuna, smoked salmon.
The Vajra family has farmed Bricco delle Viole, the highest cru in Comune di Barolo, since the 1880s. At the young age of fifteen, Aldo Vajra embraced the dream to revive his family legacy. Displaying a vision and commitment belying his young age he took over the estate in 1968, turning a new page.Aldo soon acquired the first organic certification of the region (1971), created private biotype selections (selezioni massali) of Nebbiolo and Dolcetto, pioneered the renaissance of Freisa, a noble yet forgotten local grape (1980) and the cultivation of Rhine Riesling in Piemonte (1985).Today, the Vajra family continues the vineyard research focusing on the influence of soil and climate change. The winery is trail-blazing the rediscovery of Chiaretto di Nebbiolo and the wines of the 17th century – long before Barolo was created - through two limited-production wines: “N.S. della Neve” (a champagne-method rosé nature) and “Claré JC”, a partial whole-cluster fermentation of pure Nebbiolo.High elevation vineyards are a unique factor to the Vajra wines, for their ability to express finesse and remarkable complexity over power
