WINE PROFILE

> When Luciana and Luigi got married, her first condition was to continue the tradition of her beloved Custoza, the wine of her family. This refreshing and delicately fruity dry white wine comes from the South-Eastern shore of Lake Garda. This peculiar vine-growing environment creates a refined structure and a surprising complexity. Custoza is an ideal summer wine as aperitivo, or with delicate risottos and fish dishes in general.

TASTING NOTES

Custoza 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.
