MOSCATO D'ASTI
2013 Azienda Agricola G.D. Vajra
| Grapes | Moscato |
| Colour | White |
| Origin | Italy, Piedmont |
| Sub-district | Asti |
| ABV | 5.5% |
Remarkably light in alcohol (5.5%) like all Mosacatos, Vajra's version seems to catch all the essence of the scent of the Muscat grape and its scrumptious juiciness, with the delicacy of touch and freshness on the finish of a really accomplished wine. This comes from the Riforno vineyard in Mango - a very steep slope in the highest commune of Barolo. L&S (Jan 2014)

The silver-pale 2013 Moscato d'Asti, showing irresistable exuberance for immediate drinking.Steven Spurrier (Sept 2014)
By now it’s classic: every year, at the beginning of September, our neighbouring vintner calls to remind us not to forget about our grapes in Mango, as so many have already picked it all… But we do prefer to wait for the moment that will give us the splendid aromas of this variety and the continuity of fruit and wine flavours that Moscato is able to offer. (Giuseppe Vaira)Winemaker's notes (Jan 2014)
Azienda Agricola G.D. Vajra
The winery of G.D. Vajra was initially established in 1972, although the Vajra family dates back more than two centuries in the Barolo region. Aldo and his wife Milena own the vineyards, mainly all situated in Barolo. His winemaking techniques are quite traditional, using longer maceration times and primarily Slavonian casks for ageing. However he would not describe his style as tradtional, but forward thinking and happy to evolve depending on the vintage. As the vineyards are situated 400m above sea level, the grapes ripen later than in other areas, resulting in wonderfully fresh wines with balanced acidity.
