Gorgo was established in 1973 in the village of Custoza. Originally only 22 hectares, the estate now stretches over 60 hectares in the ‘Bianco di Custoza’ and ‘Bardolino’ production areas. The estate is owned and managed by Roberta Bricolo with a skilled viticultural team who have been in place for nearly 30 years. All the wines are hand crafted and of very high quality. The light, white soils of the region are full of pebbles and silt rich in calcium which gives the wines a distinctive mineral character.
This elegant white from the Bianco di Custoza undergoes a cool fermentation in steel tanks to preserve delicate aromas as well as an extended period on fine lees before bottling to give a lovely smooth texture to the wine. Intense fresh nose of pears and honeysuckle followed by a soft and round palate full of pink lady apples, lemon peel and peaches, fresh acidity and a pronounced mineral note gives good balance and structure to the wine.
