With Kyè, Vajra has not only recognised the potential of the Freisa grape, but redefined it. The freshness of the grape variety is somewhat reminiscent of Barbera and has a similar structure to the Nebbiolo grape. An explosive wine with dark fruits, violets, minerals, menthol and spices. Insanely beautiful and multi-dimensional, the fruit remains primary and the tannins are firm. Elegance all along the line and at the same time completely Freisa, only without the old-fashioned rusticity of this indigenous variety. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Langhe Freisa Kyè is an elegant, sophisticated wine. Dark cherry, plum, gravel, dried flowers, mocha, sage and liquorice give it remarkable complexity. The racy profile is characterised by ripe fruit, but also by a medium-weight structure resulting from the challenge of reaching full maturity in this vintage." Vinous

"Concentrated, with aromas of dark currants, white pepper and hints of earth and asphalt. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with flavours of elderberry and blackberry, racy acidity and a powerful finish." James Suckling

"The G.D. Vajra 2022 Langhe Freisa Kyè exhibits a dark color and sun-drenched flavors of black fruit, spice and a hint of balsam herb or eucalyptus essence. Freisa is genetically linked to Nebbiolo, although this variety offers more black and purple fruits over a robust and loosely knit texture. This edition of Kyè has a hint of sweetness over a medium-plus finish." Wine Advocate
