The Gorgo Organic Custoza DOC is one of the most authentic expressions of the territory located south of Lake Garda. This organic wine is the result of meticulous selection of grapes, cultivated following strict organic farming principles, which exclude the use of chemical products both in the vineyard and in the cellar.

The Organic Custoza DOC stands out for its bright straw yellow color, which anticipates a delicate and pleasantly floral bouquet. Notes of white flowers blend harmoniously with hints of fresh fruit such as green apple and peach, enriched by a light citrus touch. On the palate, this wine offers a surprising freshness, supported by balanced acidity that enhances its drinkability and youthful character.

The winemaking follows traditional methods, with a brief cold maceration of the grapes, followed by fermentation at controlled temperatures, to preserve the natural aromas of the fruit to the fullest. Brief aging in stainless steel helps to maintain the freshness and purity of the wine's aromatic profile.

Ideal as an aperitif, the Gorgo Organic Custoza DOC is also an excellent companion for light dishes, such as seafood appetizers, fresh salads, and delicate first courses. Its versatility makes it perfect for accompanying a summer evening or a casual lunch with friends.

In conclusion, the Gorgo Organic Custoza DOC is not only a pleasant and easy-to-drink wine, but it also represents an expression of respect for the environment and the commitment of the Gorgo winery to promoting responsible and sustainable viticulture. An excellent choice for those looking for the pure expression of the terroir, combined with an ethical choice in their glass.
