Notes: On the nose, the Custoza DOC by Monte Zovo reveals a fresh and inviting bouquet, dominated by notes of white fruits like green apple and pear, with floral nuances and slight hints of almond. These aromas are perfectly interwoven with a subtle minerality that recalls the rich soil composition of the region. On the palate, the wine is elegant and refreshing. Its acidity is well-balanced and pairs with a medium-light body. Ideal as an aperitif or paired with hors d'oeuvres of vegetables and fresh cheeses, or with a delicate main course dish of risotto or fish.
