2024 Vaira Aurelj Controcorrente Piedmont, Italy Domaine Ledogar The grapes are not destemmed

The grapes are not destemmed and the extractions are light with manual punchdowns and some pumping over

and brimming with both soul and clarity—this is a house to watch

Infused with the unique volcanic terroir signature of the Auvergne

fresh wine reflecting the slate character in the northern Sudsteiermark

The sensation of zest is on the rounder side and brings a good smoothness
