Vajra Langhe DOC Nebbiolo Claré J.C. 2019
$45
Description
Claré J.C. is a Nebbiolo made according to a 1606 note from the House of Savoia jeweler Gian Battista Croce. This wine is a time-capsule into an era when Nebbiolo wines tasted fresher, lifted and slightly crisp. This is a wine for people who are young, brave at heart and curious about Piemonte forgotten past. Giuseppe Vaira
The name, Claré J.C., pays homage to Thomas Jefferson – who visited Piemonte in 1787 and described Nebbiolo “dry as a claret, sweet and lingering as Madeira, brisk as Champagne” and to Darrell Corti of Corti Bros Sacramento, CA. – an amazing person and pioneer of Piemonte wines who helped us recreate the style of this forgotten, semi-sweet and sparkling Nebbiolos.
Fun playful style of wine. Bringing the old back to the new. Designed to level up your thirst quenching red on a warm afternoon. Purposely bottled carrying a tiny bit of fizz to give it that fresh edge. Feels like you munching on a bowl of cherries. Just the right amount of grip so that you can drink it stand alone or with food. Nice little bit of spice and development.
