Vajra’s 2024 Kyè is an organic Langhe red that showcases Freisa, a historic Piedmontese grape with a distinctive, lively character. Its name means “Who is it?” in local dialect—a playful nod to a variety once overlooked and now celebrated for its own identity and its genetic connection to Nebbiolo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTranslucent garnet in colour, Kyè opens with rose petals, wild strawberry and cherry, with subtle notes of white pepper and clove. The palate is juicy yet structured, with fine, enveloping tannins, fresh energy and a lingering finish.\n\nIts structure and extended maturation give it the potential to develop further in bottle, though no specific drinking window is provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Freisa comes from two historic parcels in Langhe, where mineral-rich alluvial soils contribute to the wine’s lively character. The grapes are harvested by hand in late September and undergo a meticulous three-stage selection: in the vineyard, on sorting tables and berry by berry after gentle destemming. Slow fermentation is followed by spontaneous malolactic fermentation, and the wine is matured for 26 months, mainly in large Slavonian oak casks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe with game or mature cheeses. A serving temperature of around 16–18°C will help showcase its fruit and freshness.
