Bright pigeon-blood ruby red color. The 2023 Claré JC shows gorgeous notes of cherry candies, red mountain fruits, fresh mint oil and a whiffle of picked thyme. On the palate, it reveals a lovely creaminess with crunchy, sweet berries and a very fresh finish.

Description

In 1971, Aldo Vajra, then still a university student, was one of the earliest to adopt organic farming in Piemonte. Vineyards have been nurtured, and soil preserved, by grassing and spontaneous cover crop for almost 50 years now. They are sustainable and organic certified. With an incredible ratio of manual work per hectare, farming at Vajra is a labor of love and “recipe-free” attention. Intense research is also placed into monitoring and improving the biodiversity of both flora and fauna not just in the vineyards, but also in the winery fields and forests.

HARVEST AND WINEMAKING

Fruit was picked between September 17th and
29th. Approximately one fifth of the fruit was whole cluster fermented. After a
short maceration, the wine was racked to finish fermentation off the skins. The
wine underwent a gentler extraction to preserve some natural freshness.

VINEYARD

The year started with extremely dry weather and warm daytime
temperatures. By March, the water table was partially restored due to snow and
rainfall in the mountains. Budbreak began on March 25th and the following two
months saw a succession of gentle rainfall as well as very severe hailstorms that
our vineyards luckily avoided. After a progressive flowering, warm weather settled
in early June and lasted through the summer. Once September came around,
the temperature dropped, resulting in ideal conditions for the Nebbiolo harvest.
Picking started on August 16th and was completed by October 14th.
2022 was a great reminder of how beautifully resilient vines are, and resulted in
low yields yet vibrant, flavorful and juicy wines.
