Moscato d'Asti, Vajra

MOSCATO D’ASTI

D.O.C.G.

Description

Moscato d’Asti is a wine of little-known potential. Light and fragrant, fresh and without the cloying sweetness, it presents minerality and savory notes that allow you to experiment new food matching, or enjoy it by itself

Variety

100% Moscato

Vineyards and terroir

Three beautiful vineyards: Riforno and San Donato in Mango, and Moncucco in Santo Stefano Belbo. Old deeply-rooted vines

Harvest and winemaking

During the 2015 vintage, the Moscato harvest began on August 31st and ended on September 22nd. Gentle pressing and a brief cold settling before the fermentation, which lasted a week. The first bottling, already in November, allows the wine to cheer the Christmas tables

Tasting notes

Beautiful soft color with green reflections. Aromas of fruit with yellow flesh: apricot, peach, exotic fruits. Then elderflower, pear and sage. Delicate and persistent bubbles, refreshing and cleansing the palate. The balance between sweetness and freshness continues in a long and creamy finish, surprisingly savory
