The 2006 Langhe Freisa Kye is an explosive wine loaded with dark fruit, violets, minerals and spices. This full-throttle, brooding red possesses stunning concentration, depth and richness, with none of the rustic elements that are typical of this indigenous variety. I was simply blown away by this profound, moving wine. Vajra has redefined the potential of Freisa with the 2006 Kye. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2021. Vajra is one of Piedmont’s best kept secrets. Here readers will enter a world of sublime hand-crafted, artisan wines of the very highest level. Aldo and Milena Vajra’s passion comes through in spades in these terrific new releases, which I can’t recommend highly enough. Importer: Martin Scott Wines, Little Neck, NY; tel. (516) 327-0808
