Details
A classic Moscato d'Asti, yes. But this wine shows off more stone fruit character than you might expect from a Moscato, with layers of peach and apricot interlacing with classic notes of lychee and herbs. A delightful wine, perfect with spicy food and dessert!

G.D. Vajra is a renowned winery located in the Piedmont region of Italy. Founded in 1972, the estate is known for its high-quality, terroir-driven wines that beautifully express the unique characteristics of the region - which in itself is a UNESCO World Heritage site. G.D. Vajra is celebrated for its traditional winemaking techniques, including the use of large oak 'botti' and organic farming practices, which contribute to the distinctive and authentic nature of their wines. Visitors to the winery can experience the breathtaking vineyard landscapes and explore a wide range of varietals, such as Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, and Barbera, all of which showcase the true essence of the Piedmont terroir. The estate was established in 1972 and is named after Aldo Vajra's father, Giuseppe Domenico Vajra. Over the years, Aldo has grown his holdings to around 60 hectares. These are wines of power and elegance and are a must-try for any lover of Piedmontese wine.

Pairing guide
We love a great Moscato here at Good Pair Days, and we’re endlessly impressed just how food-friendly this sparkling wine style can be. The delicate sweetness of this wine calls out for salty and spicy dishes; we absolutely adore it with salt cod (especially salt cod cakes and fritters), Sichuan beef dishes, chilli-spiked fish curries, Thai crab curries, and any salty charcuterie. It’s also a great pairing for strong blue cheeses, so be sure to sort out a cheese board for dessert!

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.
