Vajra’s Langhe DOC Riesling Pétracine® reflects the pioneering spirit of the Vaira family, who introduced Riesling to Piedmont with the first vines planted in 1985. It is made from 100% Rhine Riesling sourced from the Fossati vineyard in the municipality of Barolo and Bricco Bertone in the municipality of Sinio. The plots lie between 420 and 480 metres above sea level and face east to south-east, conditions that encourage gradual ripening and a precise expression of the fruit.
The name Pétracine® comes from an ancient synonym for Riesling and evokes the idea of roots reaching into stone, referring to the rocky soils that give the wine character and identity. In the glass, it is elegant and mineral, with clear citrus notes and a pleasing sense of tension. This Piedmontese white wine is well suited to aperitifs, fish dishes, vegetarian cuisine and light preparations. A territorial interpretation of Riesling, rooted in Vajra’s tradition while remaining open to curiosity and the wider world.
