The 2021 vintage in Langhe was a "modern classic" year, characterized by abundant winter snow that replenished water tables, an April frost that lowered yields and concentrated fruit, and a warm September with crucial rain relief and cool nights. Harvest occurred in mid-October. Wines from this vintage are described as tension-filled, vertical, and demanding, with spine-tingling acidity balanced by polished winemaking. Lower pH levels contributed to vivid colors, pure aromas, and fresh, lively fruit. G.D. Vajra's Langhe Freisa Kyè, made from the indigenous Freisa grape, is a 【noble expression of a rediscovered variety】, often surprising for its depth. While specific 2021 tasting notes are emerging, general characteristics include a deep dark red color with bluish hints. Aromas are highly fruity, featuring raspberry, bilberry, blackberry, violet, and an intense grilled touch of coffee. Other notes include redcurrant, wild mountain berries, sweet spices, fresh leather, and candied japonica prune. The palate is juicy, succulent, full-bodied, with ample yet never hefty tannins, vibrant acidity, and a very long, fresh, and spicy finish. 🍴 This versatile red wine pairs well with grilled meats, sauced meats, game birds, game rabbits, and semi-mature cheeses. It also complements braised beef, pork roast, veal marsala, pulled pork, beef vindaloo, osso buco, and various styles of BBQ ribs. 🥂 The 2021 vintage offers a "modern classic" profile with 【remarkable aging potential and surprising accessibility】, making it suitable for enjoyment now or for cellaring for decades.
