Custoza

Wine · PDO · 9 municipalities

Recognized since 1973, Veneto's Custoza DOC is produced across nine municipalities, including Sommacampagna and Lazise, by 85 verified producers. What distinguishes this white wine from neighboring appellations is its strict blending formula, which prohibits single-variety dominance. The core blend must consist of at least 70% Bianca Fernanda, Garganega, Trebbiano Toscano, and Tocai Friulano, but no single grape may exceed 45% of the total volume. This rule forces a collective synergy of grapes, yielding a straw-yellow wine with a minimum alcohol content of 11.0% vol. The result is a sapid, delicate profile characterized by a slightly aromatic, fruity bouquet.
