2016 G.D. Vajra 'Petracine' Langhe Riesling
A strong candidate for the white wine of the Langhe. From Alsace clones planted at 480m. It's idiosyncratic but outstanding wine.
"The Riesling harvest takes place in the first half of September and goes on for about two to three weeks. The harvest, as well as the conveyance of the grapes in small crates, are manually carried out to preserve the whole fruit. A triple selection ensures the best quality of the grapes: first in the vineyard, observing the grapes on the vine, and later with a double sorting in the cellar. The fruit was gently pressed and the juice given a brief cold settling before fermentation that goes for about 15-20 days. The wine is aged in steel before bottling in the first half of the spring after harvest." – Giuseppe Vajra
