A fantastic nose, colour and taste, my next love in Barolo vineyards Cerretta😇 — 5 years ago
Tart strawberry with cherry liqueur, some white pepper and rose petals. There’s plenty of acid, balanced with a sappy sweetness that make this wine approachable, Reminds me of another northern Italian varietal in the lovely Vajra Rosso: Freisa

Not everyday I drink Italian Pinot! Dark and full bodied for a Pinot noir. Definitely taste the terroir of piedmont in my glass. An astonishing 15.5% ABV. Very unique wine. Drink up geeks. — 7 years ago

i think this rosé fires on all pistons. i have a simple rubric for my "needs" from a killer rosé: 1. acid/agility 2. minerals 3. delecate fruit.
for rosé wines if low concentration, i seek out intensity within the "treble clef" aspects of the wine. i really dig a tavel, or a rosato wine out of barolo (vajra specifically) if i'm looking for more rounded, and sometimes cuisine specific rosé styles. but 9 times out of 10, i'm really looking for a wicked quick palate impression, a crisp finish and a wide range of food pairing options.
the wine also has (with this vintage) a shrunken sense of varietal character compared to the previous %100 pinot noir vintages and i'm bot the least bit mad about it. the glouglou is string with this one.
fruit impressio.mn is initially tart with a supple, gooseberry finish that accessed a personal nostalgia for me.
i think i'll drink another tomorrow. — 7 years ago

A new vineyard to me , again great potential with seductive taste and nose. — 5 years ago
16.5/20 (90/100) Вино с красивым и элегантным ароматом красных ягод и молочного шоколада. Свежая кислотность и интенсивные и вяжущие, но, одновременно, мягкие танины. Вкус достаточно насыщенный. Очень неплохо, хотя и молодо. — 6 years ago

A bit more complete than the Vajra Bricco delle Viole. A tad bigger and more rich in the mid palate. — 3 years ago
