WINE DESCRIPTION
Bianco di Custoza is often considered a sibling to Lugana, both originating from the Garda Lake region. They share a similar grape composition, but Bianco di Custoza allows for a maximum of 45% Trebbiano, while Lugana mandates at least 90%. Garganega and Tocai Friulano, among others, complement Trebbiano in Custoza. Monte del Frá, situated in the heart of Custoza, has crafted an exceptional Bianco di Custoza, honored with three glasses by Gambero Rosso. This winery, established in 1958, tends to 140 hectares of vineyards in Garda's acclaimed regions. The latest Custoza blend features Garganega, Trebbiano, and Cortese, offering a refreshing, mineral-laden finesse with floral, peach, apricot, and lime notes.
