When Luciana and Luigi Brunelli got married, her first condition was to continue the tradition of her beloved Custoza, the wine of her family. This refreshing and delicately fruity dry white wine comes from the South-Eastern shore of Lake Garda. This peculiar vine-growing environment creates a refined structure and a surprising complexity. Custoza has a straw yellow colour with greenish highlights.

It displays a complex, broad and forthright bouquet, thanks to the skilful blend of Trebbiano and Garganega varieties. At first, notes of almond, cherry and acacia blossoms; then Golden Delicious apple, cling peaches and fresh almonds against a mineral background. The sensation that lingers is fresh and dry. On the palate one finds yet again a subtle yet precise and perfect layering of fruity flavours, while the acidity hints at citrus fruits, citron and grapefruit in particular. The finish reveals an appealing tangy, palate-cleansing character.

Since the 18th century, the Brunelli Name has always been closely connected to San Pietro in Cariano, the main village of the Valpolicella area. Nestled between Verona and Lake Garda, Valpolicella represents the perfect synthesis of so many different elements. A mineral soil and rich in limestone, a wonderful mosaic of indigenous grapes, the Mediterranean climate an ideal South-Southwest exposure. A long-time family of winemakers, their mission is to be a refine and faithfully interpret the wine of the region.

Ideal as aperitivo or as an accompaniment for risottos, soups and fish dishes, in particular whitefish cooked in butter, grilled cuttlefish, tench or sole poached in white wine.
