Sweet
Le Monache
By Poderi Sinaglio, Alba, Piemonte, Italy
A Moscato passito from an old vineyard, dried on racks and fermented about a year in small oak barrels.
Tasting notes
Golden yellow, with notable viscosity from the residual sugar. Complex aromas recalling the grape, with cooked fruit, jam and vanilla. Full, rich and long on the palate, balancing sweetness and wood.
