Tasting notes
The 2015 Langhe Freisa Kyé is incredibly finessed. Once huge and bombastic, the Kyé has developed into a much more refined wine in recent vintages. The 2015 Kyé is dark and mysterious, not to mention quite closed in on itself. I won’t be surprised if there is more to this wine. Time will tell.

The 2015 Langhe Freisa Kyè will be released later this October. Freisa is a fascinating grape that has the structure of Nebbiolo and the freshness of Barbera. It also has a unique touch of bitterness that comes naturally to this variety. G D Vajra has shaped a sophisticated and fruit-driven expression. They let the grapes hang longer in the vineyard before harvest to take away some of that greenness that comes from the seeds. This warm vintage has shaped a soft and rich red wine. This is an attractive pairing partner to serve with lamb or pork dishes.
