2024 G.D. Vajra Moscato d’Asti

Moscato is a part of the culinary tradition of Piedmont. We strive to preserve its full energy and wish to pair it with the most joyful moments in life. – Milena Vaira

The Moscato d’Asti 2024 comes from steep, old vineyards planted from 1965 onward, located between the hills of Mango and Santo Stefano Belbo. These high hills, with their fine calcareous soils and excellent exposure, are among the most storied crus for Moscato. The age of the vines and the natural ventilation of the sites contribute to grapes of remarkable balance and aromatic intensity.

Harvest typically begins at the end of August, but picking decisions are made site by site. Aldo has always believed in giving Moscato a few extra days on the vine—an act of trust and patience that, especially in long vintages like 2024, rewards the wine with extraordinary depth and character. Grapes were picked between September 7th and 20th. The fruit is quickly brought to the winery and gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in small batches throughout the season, to preserve the liveliest and most captivating aromatics in every bottle.

With only 5.5% alcohol and a generous, creamy mousse, the 2024 Moscato d’Asti DOCG beautifully expresses the pure essence of fresh, sun-ripened grapes. The palate is lively and layered, unfolding an elegant floral bouquet interwoven with notes of golden apple, apricot, and candied peach. The finish is long, vibrant, and clean—inviting yet another joyful sip. – G.D. Vajra
