2020 G.D. Vajra "Costa di Rose" Barolo

Jeb Dunnuck
Aged for 28 months in cask, the bright ruby 2020 Barolo Coste Di Rose was a little more reserved at this tasting. It reveals a hint of blood orange citrus along with its notes of cola, ripe strawberries, and raspberries. Medium-bodied, it has finely tensioned tannins and a clean, mouthwatering finish. It’s a very pretty wine. Drink 2026-2046.

In the glass, "Costa di Rose" 2020 presents a vibrant garnet color. The nose is expressive, with aromas of red cherries, wild strawberries, and rose petals, along with subtle hints of mint, anise, and sweet spices. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with polished tannins and a lively acidity that provides balance and vibrancy. Flavors of ripe red berries, savory herbs, and a touch of minerality unfold gracefully, leading to a long, elegant finish with refined complexity. The 2020 vintage of "Costa di Rose" has been praised for its harmony and depth, offering both approachability in its youth with decanting and significant aging potential. G.D.
