Vajra Coste di Rose Barolo 2022 is a Nebbiolo shaped by one of Barolo’s most singular vineyard sites, from the steep south-facing slopes of Coste di Rose in Piedmont, Italy. Drawn from the Vaira family’s 1.5-hectare parcel at 310 metres above sea level, the wine reflects the distinctive Arenaria di Diano soils beneath the vines: Tortonian sandstone that lends aromatic lift, mineral detail, and a finely saline line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eOften considered the quieter counterpart to Bricco delle Viole, Coste di Rose reveals a more intimate and ethereal side of G.D. Vajra’s Barolo. The 2022 vintage was harvested on 27 September, followed by triple manual sorting and fermentation in custom vertical tini with gentle extraction. Extended maceration under submerged cap lasted 47 days, building nuance and structure without excess weight. Spontaneous malolactic conversion took place the following spring before maturation for 22 months in 25-hectolitre Slavonian oak casks, with bottling completed in May 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe resulting Barolo carries remarkable clarity and composure, balancing floral perfume, red-toned fruit, and savoury mineral tension. Its precision and understated power make it particularly compelling alongside truffle dishes, roast duck, or slow-braised veal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Floral and evolving \u003cbr\u003eRed and amarena cherry, cranberry, strawberry and plum open the bouquet, supported by violet and delicate floral layers.
