G.D.Vajra Nebbiolo Langhe Clare JC DOC

This Langhe Nebbiolo offers a perfect introduction to Piedmont's noble grape without requiring the patience (or budget) demanded by Barolo and Barbaresco. The "Clare JC" designation is a tribute to winemaker Giuseppe Vajra's children, Claudio and Francesca.

The Vajra family brings the same meticulous attention to their Langhe Nebbiolo as they do to their acclaimed Barolo, sourcing from younger vines and giving the wine less oak aging for earlier approachability. The result captures Nebbiolo's ethereal aromatics and structure in a more immediate package.

It's the perfect bottle for those nights when you want something special but don't want to raid the cellar for your precious Barolo – or for anyone curious about why wine professionals are so obsessed with this challenging but rewarding grape.
