The Vajras, one of the first families of the Barolo region of the Langhe approach their production of rosato with the same seriousness and meticulousness as they do their iconic reds. At this exalted address, rosé is far more than the afterthought it is at so many other places. The Vajra rosato is made with a lighter touch by bleeding tanks of primarily organically farmed, younger-vine Nebbiolo, but also Dolcetto and Barbera, and fermenting that juice separately. Kept cool throughout the process to preserve its freshness and vibrancy, it’s always one of the more delicate and charming dry pinks we receive each year, and the near-perfect 2025 growing season has produced the best version of this wine we’ve ever tasted. Particularly fragrant with tart cherry, cherry pit, red raspberry, rhubarb and a hint of wild strawberry, the finish is pure mineral with a nice bit of linger at the end. With its light touch and airy pink color, we love it as an aperitivo but it would segue nicely to a platter of smoked meat or fish, an herby salad or any other lighter nibbles you can think of. A very dry and thoroughly charming rosato from the Langhe hills.
