€ 15,00
Stro gele dessertwijn met gouden highlights. Het boeket is intens en heel erg uitnodigend met zachte tinten van muskaat en perzik. De smaak is zoet tot licht zoet, licht tintelend, zeer aromatisch, perfect gebalanceerd en zeer fruitig. Originele dessertwijn met een alcoholgehalte van slechts 5,5% vol.
Vinous – 93/100
Bright straw-green. Very intense aromas and flavors of vanilla, white peach, orange blossom and lemon verbena. Ripe and luscious but fresh, featuring precise flavors of fresh citrus, vanilla and cinnamon. Finishes long and honeyed but with noteworthy floral lift. This is made with grapes grown in two vineyards in Mango (Riforno and San Donato) and one in Santo Stefano Belbo (Moncucco), both grand cru areas for Moscato Bianco. The 2017 Moscato d’Asti from Vajra is one of his best in recent years – and keep in mind that this is almost always a truly superb wine. In fact, as good as many of the Vajra family’s wines are (such as, for example, many standout Barolos, a benchmark Freisa, an outstanding Dolcetto and Piedmont’s most famous if not best Riesling wine), their Moscato d’Asti is almost always, each year, one of the denomination’s best.
The Wine Advocate – Robert Parker – 88/100
The G.D. Vajra 2020 Moscato d’Asti is luminous and bright with light foam and soft beading. There is honey and some candied orange at the back of fragrant apple and sweet honeydew melon. There is also a touch of sweet almond paste or nuttiness. The finish is sweet and soft.
