Amedeo 2023, Custoza Superiore DOC – Veneto, Italy 🇮🇹

Overview
A white blend led by Garganega with Trebbiano Toscano, Trebbianello, and Bianca Fernanda from the Custoza zone near Lake Garda. A structured Superiore expression showing more weight and texture than standard Custoza.

Aromas & Flavors
Ripe yellow apple, pear, citrus peel, chamomile, subtle almond, and light savory herbal tones.

Mouthfeel
Medium body. Juicy entry with good freshness. Textured and slightly rustic edges that give personality. Balanced by moderate alcohol (13.5%) and food-friendly structure.

Food Pairings
Lake fish, grilled chicken, risotto with herbs, pasta with olive oil and clams, vegetable tarts.

Verdict
More serious than first impression suggested. A wine that benefits from slowing down and tasting with context. Structured, gastronomic, and representative of traditional Custoza Superiore style.

🍷 Did You Know?
Custoza blends often center on Garganega but rely on local supporting grapes to create texture and subtle complexity, a quiet classic of the Veneto often overlooked outside Italy. — 25 days ago

Pretty golden color, mouth filling and fruity but dry. Golden delicious apple, melon rind, Marcona almond and pleasing mildly spicy tingle on the finish. An affable wine that goes down easy but is fun to savor! — 5 years ago
