G.D. Vajra Moscato d'Asti 2025
This exceptional G.D. Vajra Moscato d'Asti is a definitive showcase of how sublime the Moscato grape can be when handled by true artisan winemakers. Crafted by the historic G.D. Vajra estate from steep, old family vineyards in the high hills of Mango and Santo Stefano Belbo, this expression beautifully captures the pure essence of sun-ripened fruit. The family approaches this historic Piedmont variety with the exact same meticulous care and organic devotion they grant their legendary Barolo bottles, creating an incredibly elegant, low-alcohol sparkling wine that acts as a perfect liquid mirror to its high-altitude calcareous soils. At a featherweight 5% alcohol, this Italian sweet wine is beautifully light, gently sparkling, and completely alive in the glass. It rolls out a gorgeous, layered aromatic bouquet of yellow peach, apricot, wild elderflower, and fresh sage. The natural fruit sugars are perfectly held in check by a brilliant, vibrant spine of clean acidity, creating a soft, creamy mousse that lifts the palate effortlessly and makes it a spectacular partner for fresh summer berries, fruit tarts, or light creamy desserts.
