THE REVIEW OF CUSTOZA LE VIGNE DI SAN PIETRO BY LUCA STROPPA

The producer

Carlo Nerozzi, architect and entrepreneur, has been producing DOC wines since the 80s, using the grapes from his own vineyards raised on the moraine hills south of Lake Garda. About ten hectares with dense and well-maintained plants to give the wines personality, character and longevity without taking out pleasure and balance from drinking. The land is not tilled and the grass in the vineyards is mechanically maintained, without the use of any commercial herbicides. Green manure is used to enrich the soil and increase biodiversity. Grapes are picked by hand, collected in small cases and addressed after cooling within a few hours from the harvest. The company is a point of reference in its area and its wines have received countless awards over the years.
