‘The 2021 Rosato Rosabella is so understated yet pretty, capturing the eye with its pale pink color, and then the senses with nuances of rose, strawberries and a dusting of spice. Its soothingly soft, with a pleasant inner sweetness offset by vibrant acidity and citrus-tinged orchard fruits. This leaves the palate completely refreshed, as a salty flourish punctuates the experience quite nicely. The Rosabella is a blend of 85% Nebbiolo, 10% Barbera and 5% Dolcetto.’ – Eric Guido, Vinous, 90/100
‘Closed in a screw-capped bottle, the G.D. Vajra 2021 Rosabella is a pure expression of Nebbiolo (made in the saignée method) that should be served extra chilled. It offers fragrant aromas of wild berry, cool cucumber and a spot of mint. This wine is summery and fresh with background tones of cranberry, wild cherry and rose. This is the quintessential beach-chair wine.’ – Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, 89/100
‘The 2021 Rosabella is possibly the most floral of recent vintages. At first restrained in the glass, the wine blossoms with air. The palate features the signature freshness of Nebbiolo, with an aerial balance and a superb drinkability.’ – Winemaker
