Cavalchina

Cavalchina is a Venetian winery with close ties to Custoza, in the Sommacampagna area, between Verona and Lake Garda. Its identity is rooted in the landscape of the morainic hills, where the moderate altitude, sunny exposures and soil composition – comprising limestone, clay and a gravelly component – create an environment particularly suited to white wines characterised by aromatic precision and a savoury profile. The reference to Custoza is not merely geographical: Cavalchina has played a recognised role in shaping the modern definition of this appellation, helping to create a white wine based on the balance between several local grape varieties.

The vineyards dedicated to Custoza are home to Garganega, Fernanda, Trebbiano Toscano and Trebbianello, each vinified according to their specific ripening times and with careful attention paid to the unique characteristics of each grape variety. Hand-harvesting and temperature-controlled vinification, with separate handling of the most aromatic components, reflect a commitment to expressive clarity, freshness and stylistic consistency. The decision not to impose on the raw material allows the wines to retain a distinct, fragrant and terroir-driven profile, with a salinity that evokes the morainic soil.

Alongside the central role played by Custoza, Cavalchina embodies a production philosophy based on agronomic expertise, responsible use of resources and the promotion of the Veronese wine-growing landscape. The result is a recognisable, balanced and consistent style, in which local tradition and technical expertise complement one another without losing the connection to the region of origin.
