Community Tasting Notes 18

  March 23, 2020 - Saved the last bottle of four to see what some years extra of cellaring would do to a wine like this. Upon uncorking (yes, they used cork for this wine back then), it seemed quite artificial and perfumed. With air the freshness came out however. As expected lower frizziness than the '18, but fruit still vibrant and balanced. Fun!

  September 25, 2016 - A great repeat performance. Lighter on fizz and may be turning still, but even as a still, off-dry wine, it's delicious. This producer seems to be scoring on every level of offerings these days.

  July 26, 2016 - Visit to G.D. Vajra with Francesca Vaira (Vergne, Barolo): To finish, a good, hedonistic Moscato with a nose of lemon pie and clotted cream. Frothy and fun on palate with similar flavours and creamy creme brûlée. From 45 year old vines, 5.5% alcohol.

  July 24, 2016 - Lightly fizzy and quite pale in color. Melon, spice and honey notes are prominent. Sweet, but not cloying. Easy to drink but a little more to it than an average moscato.

  April 2, 2016 - I can only reiterate all the praise already expressed by everyone else about this tasty juice. Sweet but with a crisp snap on the end and even a certain savory-ness in its depth. This is not your gandma's spumante. All in all, a lovely package and product. 5+10+18+8= 91
