The G.D. Vajra 'N. S. della Neve' Rosé Spumante, Piedmont, Italy is a sparkling tribute to the Nebbiolo grape’s elegant potential, inspired by Thomas Jefferson’s historic tasting in 1787. Crafted as a Metodo Classico rosé from a 50/50 blend of Nebbiolo and Pinot Noir, this wine is a vibrant expression of the hills of Roddino—where calcareous soils and hand-farmed slopes yield fruit of remarkable tension and fragrance. Aged for 48 to 60 months on lees, it balances freshness, structure, and finesse in one harmonious bottle.

Sensory Description:
This rosé spumante exudes a fresh, fragrant nose laced with the decisive red fruit character of Nebbiolo and the graceful elegance of Pinot Noir. A short maceration lends its delicate pink hue. The palate is structured yet vibrant, offering floral aromas, savory undertones, and a persistent minerality. Expect layered notes of crushed raspberry, alpine herbs, rose petal, and chalky finesse, with fine bubbles and a long, expressive finish.
Winemaker's Background:
Founded in 1972 by Aldo and Milena Vajra, G.D. Vajra is a family-run winery rooted in Barolo’s historic hills. Originally planted by Aldo’s father in 1947, the estate was named in honor of Giuseppe Domenico Vajra, as Aldo was too young to legally register a winery at the time. Today, the family farms 40 hectares, including the prized Bricco delle Viole vineyard. Committed to quality, community, and sustainability, the Vajras embrace both tradition and innovation. Their rosé project was born of a historical curiosity—echoing Jefferson’s praise for Nebbiolo’s Champagne-like briskness—resulting in a blend that captures both place and history.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve the G.D. Vajra 'N. S. della Neve' Rosé Spumante well-chilled at 6–8°C in tulip flutes or white wine glasses. It shines as an aperitif, pairing beautifully with crudo, shellfish, and delicate charcuterie. Its structure also complements richer dishes like duck prosciutto or beet carpaccio. Ideal for celebratory moments or refined casual gatherings.
This stunning sparkling rosé is both a nod to Piedmont’s vinous past and a modern interpretation of its untapped potential. G.D. Vajra once again proves that when tradition meets innovation, the results are timeless.
