Vajra Freisa Kye Langhe Rosso - 2021 (750ml)
93 points Vinous Media
The 2021 Langhe Freisa Kyè is redolent of black cherry, herbs, licorice and spice. The Vajra children are picking this fruit 15-20 days earlier than their parents did, a sign of the new generation taking on a more prominent role at the winery. These transitions take time. The old Kye, the wine made by my parents Aldo and Milena Vajra, was one of the most distinctive wines in Piedmont. This version is good, but not anywhere as distinctive. I am reminded of the old adage: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." - Antonio Galloni Nov. 2023
