Got to be a fave for Italian whites. Great body & tree fruit on palate. Much more flavourful than most Italian whites I encounter.

A Garganega dominated blend with some Trebbiano Toscana, Cortese and Incrocio Manzoni blended in. Vivid straw gold color. Aromas of white lilies, wet stones and fresh cut grass and herbs. The palate features yellow delicious apple, unripe peach, yellow pear, a bit of citrus and a noticeable amount of minerals. Waxy texture and a very long (but a bit sharp) finish. Bright with vibrant acidity, but a bit out of balance. Some things to really like with this wine but there are some flaws.

2020 vintage.
A field blend of Garganega, Trebbiano Toscana, Manzoni, Tocai Friulano , Cortese, Chardonnay, Riesling Italico, and Malvasia.
Custoza is in the hills of Lake Garda. Magro vineyard is small and 30 plus years old. White spring flowers, citrus and ginger on the nose. Medium bodied and off-dry with an underlying acidity. Yellow stone fruits with apple, pear and ripe persimmon.
This wine paired well with Spaghetti alla Vongole with local clams.

40 % Garganega, 20 % Trebbiano Toscana, 15% Incrocio Manzoni, 10 % Chardonnay, 10 % Cortese, 5 % Tocai Friulano, Riesling Italico, and Malvasia.
