Experience peach and apricot, which are elegantly followed by delicate floral and citrus notes, while the minerality takes center stage as the wine matures. Harmonious, precise, nicely structured and almost tight. Wonderfully complex with a long aftertaste and great storage potential.
Vajra Riesling was created inspired by the German Rieslings as a model. In this way, Aldo Vajra became an Italian pioneer when it comes to Riesling. The goal was to create a wine that could offer the same mineral character and acidity, at the same time with a more immediate fruit and a significantly richer body.
DESCRIPTION: Vajra Langhe DOC Riesling Pétracine is produced with the oldest vines of Riesling ever planted in Piedmont, in 1985. The vineyards are east/south-east exposed at 420-480 m above sea level. Its name comes from an old synonym for Riesling meaning ‘the roots [into] the stone’, indicating that it could grow well in stony soil.
2018 was a very limited vintage for Pétracine, but it is a truly remarkable expression of this wine at its most mineral and elegant.
Langhe DOC Riesling Pétracine shows citrusy aromas and tropical notes of mango and ginger. Hints of jasmine and lavender are enriched with a flint undertone that completes the bouquet. The palate is light and citrusy. Notes of elderflower and lightly candied orange peel are gentle and persistent with a mineral and juicy component that promises to develop beautifully.
