Bianco di Custoza
Denominazione di Origine Controllata
The vast, sun-drenched and hilly zone of Custoza to the southeast of Lake Garda, where a battle took place in 1866, is famous all over the world for its excellent white wine. Crystal-clear, delicate, refreshing and brilliant, it has an unmistakable aroma that harmonizes perfectly with its dry yet gentle flavor.

Espalier with on average 25 year-old vines.Production process
The grapes are harvested by hand between the end of August and early September and then undergo a soft pressing. After a brief period of contact with the skins, the must ferments at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks. The wine thus obtained is then left to mature – once again in stainless steel - for a short while.Tasting note
This wine has a straw yellow color with greenish highlights. It displays a complex, broad and forthright bouquet, thanks to the skilful blend of Trebbiano and Garganega varieties. At first, notes of almond, cherry and acacia blossoms; then Golden Delicious apple, cling peaches and fresh almonds against a mineral background. The sensation that lingers is fresh and dry. On the palate one finds yet again a subtle yet precise and perfect layering of fruity flavors, while the acidity hints at citrus fruits, citron and grapefruit in particular. The finish reveals an appealing tangy, palate-cleansing character.Serving suggestions
Ideal as an aperitif or, alternatively, as an accompaniment for hors d’oeuvres, risottos, soups and fish dishes, in particular whitefish cooked in butter, grilled cuttlefish, tench or sole poached in white wine.Serving temperature
