Awarded the 'Tre Bicchieri' by Gambero Rosso, this white wine stands out for its excellent \u003cstrong\u003eageing potential\u003c\/strong\u003e, developing a remarkable complexity of flavour over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis white wine comes from the historic \u003cstrong\u003emorainic hills\u003c\/strong\u003e of Custoza, south-east of Lake Garda. The vineyards consist of \u003cstrong\u003evines over forty years old\u003c\/strong\u003e with roots deep in a post-glacial terroir characterised by calcareous, clayey, gravelly, and sandy soils. This geological composition is essential for giving the wine its distinct savoury character. Thanks to a rigorous zonation programme, the different parcels are vinified separately to best enhance the authentic \u003cstrong\u003eterritorial expression\u003c\/strong\u003e of the Venetian landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe harvest takes place in several stages between September and the beginning of October. The grapes undergo \u003cstrong\u003ecryomaceration and soft pressing\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by a slow fermentation in stainless steel. The wine then rests on its lees until May to enrich its body. A selected portion of Garganega ferments and matures on the lees in small \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for about four months. After the blend is created, the cycle concludes with \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e for at least six months, ensuring an excellent harmony of flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCà del Magro is Monte del Frà’s most renowned \u003cstrong\u003eCustoza Superiore\u003c\/strong\u003e, a historical icon celebrated internationally.
