G.D. Vajra
Kyè Langhe Freisa
Langhe, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
Smoky-ripe black cherry and violets with acid and tannin galore. Serve chilled with charcuterie and cheese, this could be a Piemontese Cru Beaujolais stand-in. The Vajra version is dry and weighs in at 14% ABV. Freisa has a parent-offspring relationship with Nebbiolo... so for some of us, things couldn’t get much better. Shocked (!!!) that this is a 2015 wine; hard to imagine how hard you’d get slapped with a more recent vintage. Eataly.

Started pretty earthy but then dark fruit emerged and balanced it. Grippy. Enjoyed it.

Kye is like the value option to GD Vajra Barolo. Freisa and Nebbiolo are cousins, but I’d argue distant cousins. This is chunkier, with equal power but darker - less the bright red fruit.
It’s complex with dark cherries and dried strawberries.
