G.D. Vajra – Langhe Freisa Kyè – 2015

Little known, Freisa is one of Piedmont’s indigenous grape varieties with a centuries-long history but no longer widely planted. Very sensitive to climatic changes, it has a medium-late growing cycle and is not easily manageable; today it is found mainly in the Monferrato and Albese areas. Vajra offers it in a new version from 40-year-old vineyards located on clay soil at Bricco delle viole in San Ponzio. “Kyè” (who it is) represents the new role given to this grape, which is fermented in steel tanks for 12/25 days where malolactic fermentation takes place spontaneously. In accordance with tradition, the wine is aged in Slavonian oak casks and barriques for 26 months before being bottled. Still appreciated by many connoisseurs for its fruity characteristics with touches of white pepper, it is an interesting wine with a discreet tannic texture and good solidity, also suitable for ageing. To be tried at least once.
