The G.D. Vajra 2020 Moscato d'Asti is luminous and bright with light foam and soft beading. There is honey and some candied orange at the back of fragrant apple and sweet honeydew melon. There is also a touch of sweet almond paste or nuttiness. The finish is sweet and soft. I found this vintage to be more robust than its predecessors. Production is 18,000 bottles.

Moscato d’Asti is a wine of wonderful but little-known potential. Light and fragrant, fresh and without cloying sweetness, it presents minerality and savoury notes that allow you to experiment with food pairing, or just enjoy it by itself. The fruit comes from three beautiful vineyards: Riforno and San Donato in Mango, and Moncucco in Santo Stefano Belbo - and all from old and deep-rooted vines.
The grapes are gently pressed before a brief cold settling and then fermentation, which goes for about a week. The first bottling, as soon as November, allows the wine to cheer the Christmas table.
