Vajra Barolo Coste di Rose","description":"\u003cp\u003eGiuseppe Vaira calls this steep sandstone dune his secret weapon, and it is easy to see why. Sitting right between the famous dirt of Cannubi and Bussia, Coste di Rose always shows the highly seductive, fragrant side of the commune. It skips the brooding muscle of standard Barolo for something that walks with a much lighter step.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 season was an intense, parched run that tested everyone in Piedmont. Low yields forced real concentration into the fruit, but Giuseppe kept his cool, using an extended 47-day maceration with a submerged cap to tease out fine structure without any heavy extraction.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf the Vajra Crus it's probably the 'prettiest' and most aromatic - hitting you with a gorgeous, lifted perfume of red berries, steeped botanicals, and a cool splash of spearmint. The palate has a real sapid drive, framed by a gravelly, fine-grained tannin web and a refreshing squeeze of blood orange acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIf Ravera is muscle and Bricco delle Viole is precision, this is all charm. Vaira says this is the most approachable of his Crus, though for the patient, there will be plenty of rewards should you cellar it for a decade or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Floral, as is typical of this estate, with crunchy red fruit and rose petals.
