G.D. Vajra x FHG 2021 Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
This Barolo has been produced, in a limited release, as a blend of a handful of beautiful estate vineyards. This is a collaborative special bottling, exclusive to Frasca Hospitality Group. The idea came about at Vinitaly in April 2023, when Carlin and Bobby were tasting with Giuseppe Vajra and asked if this would be a possibility. Giuseppe was excited by the idea, said they had never done this before, and that he would have to get a vote of approval from his whole family. After family approval, we moved forward. We taste barrel samples together in Italy to make our unique blend. The 2021 vintage is an exceptional vintage in Piedmont and one we are incredibly excited about.
Frasca and the Vajra family have a strong supportive relationship. The back label of the Barolo reads: “Unforgettable moments and a deep mutual respect between Frasca Hospitality Group and the G.D. Vajra families have culminated in this bottle of Barolo. This is an exclusively crafted, multiple-commune Barolo that was hand-picked and blended in collaboration to express the shared values between Frasca Hospitality Group and G.D. Vajra”.
i Greppi 2024 Bolgheri Rosso 'Greppicante', Bolgheri, Tuscany, Italy
No region in Italy is more heralded for Bordeaux varieties and powerful wines of elegance and finesse than the tiny, prestigious sliver of Tuscan coast known as Bolgheri. I Greppi is one of the region's oldest producers, family-owned and operated, producing wines of place that appeal to lovers of both great Napa and Bordeaux. Pedigreed yet approachable in their youth, they have a place at the table.
Greppicante is a true Bordeaux-style blend from the great terroirs of Bolgheri, made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Aged for one year in oak barrels and another several months in bottle before release, it reveals the true terroir of Bolgheri, with power and elegance while still maintaining a Mediterranean essence.
