€39.50

750ml Bottle

Aged for almost a year in stainless tell tanks, this Riesling Pétracine displays citrusy aromas and tropical notes of mango and ginger, as well as seductive hints of jasmine and lavender. Palate is very inviting, bright and citrusy, while also displaying gentle notes of elder flowers and candied orange peel. It’s incredibly pure, gentle and persistent, with a mineral finish.

Region

G.D. Vajra

Aldo Vaira's wines are characterised by pristine flavours and clearly defined perfumes. These characters are attributable to the position of his vineyards at about 400 metres above sea level in the village of Vergne in the commune of Barolo. G.D. Vajra was established in 1972 and named after Aldo's father, Giuseppe Domenico Vajra. Aldo has been gradually increasing the area under vine to 60 hectares, of which 10 are Nebbiolo for Barolo, located in such strategic spots as Bricco delle Viole, Fossati, La Volta and Coste di Vergne. A traditionalist, Aldo adheres to old-style winemaking methods, though blends these with new techniques, such as temperature-controlled fermentation, to produce such superbly elegant wines.
