You know when you taste a wine and think, "Okay, this is exactly what I was looking for"? That's exactly what happened to us with this Custoza DOC from Lake Garda . We weren't expecting anything special, honestly. And yet, it surprised us from the first sip.
We were in the Veronese hills, where the lake breeze caresses the vineyards, and the producer poured us this white. The bright straw yellow color already promised something. Then we smelled it: fruity and intense , with that slightly aromatic note that immediately invites you to drink.
And when we tasted it? That's when we understood. Savory, delicate, rounded —it glides through the mouth with an elegance you wouldn't expect from a Veronese white wine in this price range. We looked at each other and thought, "We're bringing this to FeelGarda."
The secret of this Custoza DOC ? A blend of five grapes: Garganega, Cortese, Trebbiano, Malvasia, and Tocai Friulano . Each brings something different, and together they create a perfect balance.
The manual harvest in mid-September selects only the best bunches at the right time—not too soon, not too late. Temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel preserves all the freshness and aromatic richness. No wood, no frills, just a clean technique that respects the grape variety.
When a white wine from Lake Garda wins:
...you realize you're not the only one who appreciated it. And that makes us happy, because it confirms what we felt at the first tasting.
At the office, this Custoza DOC has become our Friday night white. Why? Because it's the kind of Veronese white wine everyone agrees on. Versatile, balanced, surprisingly contemporary.
It works great as an aperitif —even with just a few olives and chips. But it's best with:
Serving temperature: 10-12°C . Chilled but not icy, otherwise you lose the aromatic nuances that make it interesting.
At 12.5% ABV, it's a DOC white wine that's not heavy. You can drink two glasses without feeling heavy—and that, let's face it, is quite a feat.
We could tell you about the Veronese hills, the breeze of Lake Garda , the tradition of Custoza. And it would all be true. But the truth is simpler: this Custoza DOC won us over because it's good, period.
It doesn't try to be something it isn't. It has no pretensions to greatness. It's simply a well-crafted Lake Garda white wine , which honestly expresses its terroir and works well on a thousand different occasions.
And what about the value for money? It's hard to find better. An award-winning white wine for less than 15 euros isn't something you come across every day.
