Synonym (also Malvaziya Belaya) for the grape variety Agostenga, see there.
The white grape variety probably originates from Italy. The name is derived from "Agosto" (Italian for August) and indicates the early ripening from the end of July/beginning of August. The 90 or so synonyms attest to its great age and formerly widespread distribution in Europe. Some of them are Agostana, Agostenga Bianca, Agostinga, August Grape, Bianca...
For me, Lexicon from wein.plus is the most comprehensive and best source of information about wine currently available.
