The 2010 Langhe Bianco Pietracine is Vajra’s Riesling from Alsatian clones. The 2010 shows gorgeous textural richness, which is unusual for this wine when it is young. Lime peel, citrus and light floral honey are some of the notes that wrap around the energetic finish. Ideally, this needs a few years to develop the full breadth of its aromas and flavors, but is already quite beautiful. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2018.
This is another superb set of wines from Aldo and Milena Vajra. What else is new? I am sure one day the Vajras will receive the broader recognition they so richly deserve. In the meantime, savvy readers know the exceptional quality these wines deliver for what remain very modest prices.
