Custoza Monte Del Fra'

Custoza Monte Del Frà is a white wine named after the town of Custoza, located in the moraine hills of Lake Garda in the Veneto region of Italy. This area is characterized by a microclimate particularly favorable to viticulture, thanks to the presence of the lake that mitigates temperatures and mineral-rich soils composed of sand, gravel and clay. These conditions allow the cultivation of grapes that express high aromaticity and freshness, distinctive characteristics of this wine. Custoza is a blend of several indigenous grape varieties, including Garganega, which brings structure and ripe fruit notes, and Trebbiano Toscano, which imparts freshness and acidity. Other grapes such as Trebbianello (a biotype of Tocai Friulano) and Cortese add aromatic complexity and delicacy. Often, the blend may also include small amounts of minor blends, which further enrich the wine's organoleptic profile, giving floral and herbaceous nuances. The production process for Custoza Monte Del Frà involves white vinification, with soft pressing of the grapes to extract the flower must, followed by fermentation at a controlled temperature to preserve the primary aromas. Aging takes place mainly in stainless steel, to maintain the wine's freshness and vibrancy, although in some cases a short period in the bottle before release may be provided to harmonize the flavors. The result is an elegant, straw-yellow wine with aromas of white flowers and yellow-fleshed fruit, and a fresh, balanced and pleasantly mineral taste.
