Method

Bianco di Custoza (or simply Custoza), is a DOC classified white from the Veneto region of northeastern Italy. The wine might be seen as the white equivalent of red Bardolino as the two DOCs’ production areas overlap significantly.  70 % of the wine must be made up of Cortese, Friulano, Garganega and/or Trebbiano Toscano or which no one grape can exceed 45% of the blend.  Up to 30% of the wine may consist of Chardonnay, Malvasia, Pinot Bianco, Manzoni Bianco or Welschriesling. 

Zenato’s Bianco di Custoza is made via a soft pressing of the grapes which are then fermented in stainless steel.

    Great value. This white wine comes from the same region (Bianco di Custoza) as a favourite red of mine; Corte Gardoni “Le Fontane” Bardolino. It also shares two grapes, Garganega and Cortese, with Gardoni’s own Bianco di Custoza which I also enjoy. Light on acidity and fruit, fresh, oh so slightly of dry. Seems to have a tiny hint of honey. I am drinking it with manchego (hard, slightly salty cheese) and a variety of olives. Beautiful!
