TASTING NOTE

Colour: bright straw yellow with lively green highlights

fresh hints of flowers (linden, wisteria and acacia) and of fruits (apples, pineapple and peach)

Flavour: a dry white wine with good structure and appealingly fresh acidity. On the palate it echoes the attractive floral and fruity sensations found on the nose, enriched on the finish by delicate hints of chlorophyll

Serving suggestions: ideal as an aperitif, it also goes perfectly with the cuisine of its zone of origin (tortellini di Valeggio and lake or river fish) and with cold cuts (raw ham or coppa). It is excellent for accompanying both salt-water and fresh water fish. It is delicious with fresh summer dishes: it makes a perfect accompaniment for insalata caprese (mozzarella, tomato and basil) or raw ham with melon. Try it also with Parmentier soup

Note:Custoza is a small village near which, in the 19th century, two of the most important battles in the Italian wars of independence were fought
