Graphite and dark cherry open into red berries with whispers of rosemary and thyme, held together by a mineral iodine that speaks to Vergne's altitude and the wine's aging potential. Natural farming and careful structure make this a Nebbiolo that's approachable now but built to evolve for years. Restrained power. That's the Vajra signature.
Winemaker Notes
Darker garnet color. The graphite, ash, cherry aromas develop into red berries with hints of Rosemary and Thyme. A dark iodine runs through the wine illustrating its power, but encompassing a restraint suggesting long term aging potential. Whilst approachable now, the fruit structure will develop and mature into more savory expression over time.
