90 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "The 2015 Langhe Freisa Kyè will be released later this October. Freisa is a fascinating grape that has the structure of Nebbiolo and the freshness of Barbera. It also has a unique touch of bitterness that comes naturally to this variety. G D Vajra has shaped a sophisticated and fruit-driven expression. They let the grapes hang longer in the vineyard before harvest to take away some of that greenness that comes from the seeds. This warm vintage has shaped a soft and rich red wine. This is an attractive pairing partner to serve with lamb or pork dishes. Drink: 2018-2022. (Jun 2018)"
Producer notes: "Deep ruby color. Notes of red berries, tobacco, rose and white pepper, interspersed with hay and herbs. A full body, balanced acidity and alcohol. A full-bodied and rich wine with a long finish of dark fruit and spices."
