Details
The greatest thing about top-flight Moscato is how grapey it is. That sounds silly, sure, but how many wines you taste and they seem like they could be made from something other than crushed grapes? This frankly beautiful floral Moscato is a thing of beauty too, with pure musky aromatics, blossom and then a juicy, but very pure, sweet and generous palate.

G.D. Vajra is one of those producers that has always flown a bit below the radar, even though the wines are excellent. We all know this dark horse story, whether it's a winery, a restaurant, or a musician that deserves more acclaim. Though in recent times, the world has locked into this estate in Piedmont, northern Italy, realising that the modern but classical wines that come out from the G.D. Vajra stable are very smart. Centred around one of the first certified organic vineyards in Piedmont, the brilliant Nebbiolo is what this part of the world is most famous for, and Vajra has a whole swag of famous Barolo wines in the portfolio. Yet it's not just the powerful reds that get the chocolates here, with some genuinely surprising Barbera, Freisa, Dolcetto, Moscato and even the rare Slarina.

Pairing guide
Like most Moscato wines, this little stunner is fantastically food-friendly, and pairs best with laid-back dining options, especially sumptuous cheese and charcuterie boards, and appetisers such as bruschetta and dips. If you do fancy serving up this fizzy wine with your main course, you’d do well to pair it with Indian curries like butter chicken, or other spicy dishes like Szechuan chilli tofu, pasta arrabbiata, or well-spiced fish.

Wine region
Piedmont, Italy
The Piedmont wine region in Italy is a magical place known for producing world-class wines. The region is bordered by the Alps to the north and the Apennine Mountains to the south, and it is characterized by rolling hills and a diverse landscape. The climate in Piedmont is generally cool and wet, with warm, dry summers and cold, snowy winters. This climate is well-suited to grape growing offering slow and steady ripening conditions which lead to high-quality and expressive wines. Piedmont is most praised for its red wines, particularly Barolo and Barbaresco, which are made from the Nebbiolo grape. Barbera and Dolcetto are other celebrated reds of the region, and as for its white wines, Arneis, Moscato d'Asti and the rare Nascetta. Piedmont is also famous for its flavorful truffles, often used in local dishes, and pair beautiful with its regional wines.
