2019 G.D. Vajra Moscato d'Asti DOCG, Piedmont, Italy (750ml)   

Are you one of those wine snobs who turns up their nose up at the mere idea of a sweet wine?? Come on now, be honest! ;>) If so, you don't know what you are missing. Good Moscato dAsti is flat out DELICIOUS. It is also charming, seductive, juicy, refreshing. What are you waiting for?

"Moscato is part of the wine and culinary tradition in Piemonte. We look for purity, preserve its natural vivacity, and hope this wine can always accompany our family and friends’ most festive and joyous moments." This is the charming way in which G.D. Vajra describes their Moscato d'Asti and hints at their earnest and genuine intentions for this delightful, lightly sweet and spritzy wine. The fruit flavors tend more towards apricot, peaches and honey as opposed to apple, a common trait in many Moscato d'Asti. The finish is fresh and slightly creamy but not unctuous thanks to the bright acidity. A classic, well crafted Moscato d'Asti with optimal balance and lift.
