G.D. Vajra Barolo Chinato NV

Full bodied and textured fortified wine from Piedmont, with a sweet and herbal character akin to of a classic bitter like Campari. The wine boasts a deep, full bodied color with garnet hues, and a thick, polished texture. The nose is described by a mix of red fruit, dried herbs, and vegetal notes, with earthy and oaky undertones. On the palate, the wine reveals a range of flavors, bringing rhubarb, cherry cola, quinine, orange peel, cinnamon, and clove. The full-bodied wine has a pleasing balance, with a long, refined finish.

Robust and mellow fortified wine that pairs beautifully with sweet treats, in particular chocolate. Its soft nuances of rhubarb and cardamom add substance and warmth to the experience, making it a perfect accompaniment to the senses.

Intense and rich Barolo with a warm, spicy character, similar to of gingerbread, cinnamon, and thyme. The sweetness is graceful by a nuance of bitterness, in contrast plum and deep cherry add intensity and nuance. A rewarding finish, but perhaps a bit too full-bodied for some palates.
