Vajra - Pinot Nero Langhe (PN Q497) 2023 (750ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWinemakers Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1999, before climate change became undeniable, we were \u003cbr\u003ealready questioning the future of viticulture at high altitudes. When permission to \u003cbr\u003eplant Nebbiolo at the top of the hill was denied (we had asked five years too soon), \u003cbr\u003eAldo chose to plant Pinot Noir instead. That site, now part of the Serradenari \u003cbr\u003eMGA, sits at 497 meters above sea level and remains one of the highest vineyards \u003cbr\u003ein the village. The first vintage, released in 2006, bore the name “PN Q497” \u003cbr\u003ein homage to its elevation. Today, this limited production reflects a legacy of \u003cbr\u003eintuition, freedom, and a different lens through which to enjoy both Pinot noir and \u003cbr\u003ethe our terroirs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVINTAGE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2023 is shaping to become a lovely vintage in Barolo, despite the \u003cbr\u003eerratic weather that hit east of the Langhe and in many regions across Italy. The \u003cbr\u003eyear features some markers of classicism: a long phenolic season - starting with \u003cbr\u003eearly bud break around mid of March- early flowering and a late harvest blessed \u003cbr\u003eby good diurnal shifts. Clusters were loose since flowering, which resulted in low \u003cbr\u003eyields and very healthy grapes. We expect this to be a vintage of good density, \u003cbr\u003evibrant energy and beautiful structure. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 Pinot Nero shows a luminous ruby red hue with delicate garnet highlights. The nose is precise and varietally expressive, revealing vibrant aromas of red cherry, complemented by fresh blueberry and a subtle hint of dried dates that adds depth and complexity. On the palate, the wine is medium bodied with a juicy core, fine acidity, and elegant tannins. It is balanced and persistent, leading to a long, clean finish where sapid red fruit and fine minerality melt together. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"G.D.
