Vajra's Moscato d'Asti is the quintessence of summer: scent of peach, apricot, apple, pear, citrus and exotic fruits, sage and aromatic herbs. This Moscato is produced with well-ripe fruit, which was left to mature on the vines much longer than average, and then carefully sorted by hand. It's pure fruit, and discloses flavors and sweetness. It's a refreshing glass to share with friends.

TASTING NOTES: pale yellow color. Very refined fizz, persistent and creamy. Nose: scents of yellow fruits: peach, apricot, citrus, followed by herbal hints and exotic fruit. Mouth: bright and pure. The sweet and crispy feeling are greatly integrated and leave the palate clean. Long finish.

The Moscato d'Asti DOCG is part of the wine and culinary tradition of Piemonte.

It's an easy-drinking wine produced with a complex vinification because of the residual sugar.

Our commitment is to produce a pure Moscato, a fruit juice with the smallest possible preservatives content.

A "wine for the party" where health, goodness and pleasure dovetail.
