Corte Gardoni Custoza Greoto 2018

On Lake Garda, in the Veneto region of Italy, Gianni Piccoli and his three sons make exceptional wine in the charming village of Bardolino. The Piccoli’s natural farming and low yields render highly aromatic and generously fruity wines. The local white wine, Bianco di Custoza, is a fruity, food-friendly wine. It is produced with the same blend of grapes Soave is made from, dominated by the local Garganega and with the addition of the rare Trebbianello.

The Custoza Greoto is a particular exciting, fun white wine. It boasts flavors of caramelized Granny Smith apples, a hint of honey and a stony, dry finish. It is juicy and zesty and the perfect aperitivo.  It’s complex enough to pair well with grilled fish, lighter meats, roasted vegetables, or simple pastas.
