G.D. Vajra Kyè Langhe Freisa 2016

G.D. Vajra is easily one of the most talented producers working with Freisa, an obscure grape variety that is directly related to Nebbiolo. There is always a family resemblance between the two grapes with Freisa displaying more wild, brambly flavors and carrying a bit more heft on the palate than Nebbiolo typically does. Given the quality of the vintage its no surpise thatandnbsp;the 2016 vintage of Kyandeacute; is a stunning bottle of wine. The nose is quite floral with brambly berry fruit, mint, and a touch of spice and it is rich and resonant on the palate with grippy structure it will benefit greatly from some age.andnbsp; Sourced from a parcel of vines planted by Aldo Vajra in 1980 at the base of the familyand#39;s holdings in the Bricco delle Viole vineyard.andnbsp; Certified organic farming, fermented in steel with a 3-4 week long maceration, aged in a mix of Botti and worn tonneaux for 26 months.andnbsp; This is about as good as Freisa gets!
