Vajra "Clare" Langhe Nebbiolo, Piedmont, Italy 2022

FROM G.D. VAJRA

THE WINE: Produced with grapes from younger vines of Nebbiolo, Claré JC is our take on the forgotten days of Nebbiolo, when it was vinified and enjoyed in its lighter and fresher garment. The winemaking protocol follows the 1606 writings of G.B. Croce.

Fruit was picked between September 27th and October 6th. Approximately one fifth of the fruit was whole cluster fermented. After a short maceration, the wine was racked to finish fermentation off the skins so to preserve some natural freshness.

AGING: Very short aging in a close stainless steel vat prior to bottling on February 2nd, 2024.
