2011 G.D. Vajra Moscato D'Asti
|
Merchant Reviews
There are no poor relatives in Aldo and Milena Vajra's wine family. From their celebrated Barolos to the less ambitious Dolcettos, the wines are all meaningful and exceptionally well crafted.
Aldo Vajra's wines are among the most eloquent and authentic expressions of the Langhe, here intended more as a lifestyle of dedication and commitment, rather than a trendy fashion.
This Moscato Bianco is no exception. After soft pressing, the first run must is held in autoclavi (pressure tanks), then filtered as many as eight times to stop fermentation. The pale, straw-colored wine is delightfully fresh and clean - and with a surprisingly long-lasting, frothy mousse.
