Comes from Garganega, Fernanda, Trebbiano toscano and Malvasia grapes, from vines trained highin the ‘Pergola semplice veronese’ style, on the hills of the risorgimental area of Custoza.

After the grapes have been harvested by hand and soft pressed, vinification takes place at controlled temperature with a partial skin contact to embody the original varietal aromas.

The careful selection of grapes and meticolous vinification result in a fresh and fragrant Bianco di Custoza, distinguished by a pleasant, lively chatacter.
It is perfectly suited to first courses, fish and white meats. It should be served cool and is suggested for drinking while the wine is young.
