Sparkling sweet
G.D. Vajra "Moscato d'Asti 2025 is a delicate and extremely precise example of the Moscato d'Asti style from Piedmont, in which sweetness is not a dominant element, but becomes a harmonious part of the aromatic expression. The Vajra family creates this wine not aiming for a sweet effect, but for a transparent expression of fruit and flowers, which is why it is characterized by unusual freshness and elegance.
The aroma reveals notes of apricot, white peach, pear, orange blossom, elderflower and acacia honey, complemented by subtle nuances of sage and citrus.
The wine has a creamy, gently sparkling texture, but maintains a lively acidity and a very clean balance. Delicate bubbles give a feeling of lightness, and notes of ripe stone fruit, pear and white flowers transition into a long, fresh and elegantly sweet aftertaste.
The 2025 harvest was smaller than usual due to hail and very low yield, but the Vajra family describes it as one of the most aromatic and purest harvests in recent years. The grapes are picked later than usual to achieve greater aromatic concentration and ripeness. Fermentation takes place in small batches in stainless steel tanks to maximize the preservation of the original fruitiness and natural aromatics.
Serve at a temperature of 7 - 9 °C with Asian cuisine dishes seasoned with curry spices, tartlets with fruit or "Panettone" cake, with fluffy desserts (meringues, ice cream with a little tea mousse).
The Vajra family has farmed Bricco delle Viole, the highest cru in Comune di Barolo, since the 1880s. At the young age of fifteen, Aldo Vajra embraced the dream to revive his family legacy. Displaying a vision and commitment belying his young age he took over the estate in 1968, turning a new page.Aldo soon acquired the first organic certification of the region (1971), created private biotype selections (selezioni massali) of Nebbiolo and Dolcetto, pioneered the renaissance of Freisa, a noble yet forgotten local grape (1980) and the cultivation of Rhine Riesling in Piemonte (1985).Today, the Vajra family continues the vineyard research focusing on the influence of soil and climate change. The winery is trail-blazing the rediscovery of Chiaretto di Nebbiolo and the wines of the 17th century – long before Barolo was created - through two limited-production wines: “N.S. della Neve” (a champagne-method rosé nature) and “Claré JC”, a partial whole-cluster fermentation of pure Nebbiolo.High elevation vineyards are a unique factor to the Vajra wines, for their ability to express finesse and remarkable complexity over power
