This premium Italian red wine from Piedmont, the Langhe Freisa Kyè presents a rich and articulated nose, with rose petals, wild strawberry, kirsch and a wiffle of spices. The fine tannins are wrapped by layers of floral elements, fresh blue fruits, violet and rose hip, white pepper and clove, with a beguiling combination of depth and energy.
Kyè is produced with two parcels, one adjacent the winery, planted in 1980 with massal selections, and one growing since 1998 on alluvial soils, proving for a wonderful layer of minerality to this wine.
Grapes are sorted manually three times as customs at Vajra: directly on the vine, on whole clusters and as single berries after destemming. Fermentation lasted for approximately 30 days and was followed by spontaneous malolactic fermentation. Very gentle aging in a stainless steel barrel for 4 months and in Slavonian oak for 2 months.
