The Dragon is a distinctive white blend hailing from the Langhe region. Initially crafted by Luigi Baudana in the 1980s using Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, it has since evolved to include Nascetta, a fascinating and precious heirloom grape of the Langhe, along with a small portion of Riesling.
Grapes are picked at optimal ripening. The fruit is carefully sorted and undergoes a whole cluster of gentle pressing. Fermentations lasts up to twelve days in vertical vats at low temperature. Usually, no malolactic occurs in Dragon. The wine is bottled the following Spring.
Tasting Notes: G.D. Vajra Langhe Dragon opens to fresh fruit aromas such as kiwi, lime, and pear. Hints of minerality like flint and sea stones complete the elegant bouquet. The palate is citrusy with flavors of orchard fruit, macerated elderflower, and candied orange peel that shine through the fresh and vibrant acidity. Drinkable and accessible it totally reflects elegance and energy.
