GD Vajra Claré Nebbiolo 2024

Winemaker Says: 2024 Claré J.C. Langhe Nebbiolo has a transparent and bright red ruby color. Nose reveals tones of raspberries, rosehip, fresh berries and sweet spices. Palate is enlightened by aromatics of white pepper, fresh citrus peel and wild strawberries, a lively carbonic and silky tannins.

Giuseppe Vajra Says: "Claré J.C. is a Nebbiolo made according to a 1606 note by Gian Battista Croce, jeweler of the House of Savoia. It is a time-capsule into an era when Nebbiolo wines tasted fresher, slightly crisp and smooth. This is a wine for people who are young at heart and curious about the forgotten past of Piemonte."

Jeb Dunnuck Says 90 Points: "The bright transparent ruby 2024 Langhe Nebbiolo Claré J.C. is a preview of what is to come. The nose is fresh and inviting with poppy red fruit, floral perfume, and wet stones, while the palate is snappy and refreshing, medium-bodied, and lovely, with ripe notes of white pepper and spice, likely accentuated by the addition of whole clusters in fermentation and a light carbonic maceration that add a lively verve and zest to the wine. Drink over the near term and serve with a light chill."
