Sweet
Moncalvina
By Coppo, Asti, Piemonte, Italy
Moncalvina comes from the prestigious Canelli subzone, one of only 22 townships (of 52 permitted for Moscato d'Asti) allowed to carry that name, where Moscato has been grown since the 13th century.
Tasting notes
Bright straw yellow with pale golden and greenish reflections. Floral aromas of peach, pear and citrus blossom, elegantly sweet and gently sparkling, with a fresh, creamy finish.
