Introduction:
The 2024 Vajra Rosabella is a fresh and elegant rosato from the Langhe, crafted with the same attention and precision that the Vajra family devotes to their reds. It captures Nebbiolo’s floral perfume and structure in a delicate, vibrant style.
Terrior:
Organically farmed vineyards in Verduno provide the fruit, planted on well-draining soils with excellent sun exposure and cooling influences from the Alps. Sustainable practices, including cover cropping and biodiversity preservation, maintain balance in the vineyard and transparency in the wine.
Appearance:
A luminous peach-pink hue with translucent brightness.
Nose:
Expressive aromas of orange blossom, blood orange, strawberry, rose petals, and subtle spice rise from the glass with clarity and lift.
Palate:
Light-bodied and crisp, delivering crunchy red fruit, lime, and apple alongside a delicate saline minerality. Freshness and vibrancy define the mouthfeel, with a touch of textural finesse from lees contact.
Finish:
Clean and persistent, lingering on red fruit, floral notes, and chalky minerality.
Overall Impression:
The 2024 Vajra Rosabella is a refined and joyful rosato that combines Nebbiolo’s aromatic precision with freshness and mineral lift. Bright, crisp, and beautifully balanced, it’s perfect for immediate enjoyment yet structured enough to evolve with short-term cellaring. Ideal with Mediterranean fare, seafood, or simply as an aperitif.
