G.D. Vajra works with steep, older vineyards in the hills between Mango and Santo Stefano Belbo, a historically important area for Moscato d'Asti. The grapes are harvested entirely by hand and only picked when they are beautifully ripe and golden in colour. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring winemaking, fermentation is stopped prematurely. This preserves some of the natural grape sugars and simultaneously creates the characteristic light fizz of Moscato d'Asti.

And rightly so, because this trait has led to this magnificent winery with its authentic wines. The story begins when Aldo, at the age of fifteen, is pulled off the street by his father during a demonstration in Turin and sent to his grandparents' farm. Aldo spends a lot of time in the vineyards that summer, where his interest in winemaking is sparked.
