Custodia Custoza Superiore Bianco

The Cantina di Custoza cooperative, southeast of Lake Garda, was founded in 1968 and now comprises 200 members farming over 1,000 hectares of vineyard. The small village of Custoza shares its name with an appellation in the southwest of the Province of Verona. Matt Thomson of Blank Canvas worked here in the late 1990s. His influence is still felt at the winery, as local winemaker Luca Oliosi now oversees some of the processes he introduced. Cantina di Custoza formed a recent partnership with Cantina Valpantena, adding the significant oenological capabilities of winemaker Michele Peroni and Luca Degani, who has led Valpantena since 1994.
