• La Cavalchina The Azienda Agricola Cavalchina, owned by the Piona family, was created in the early 1900s. In the early 60’s Cavalchina’s producers felt that their white wines; made from Fernanda, Trebbiano and Garganega, deserved their own recognition, so they differentiated their product from the soave title by labeling it under the Custoza Branding. Only the grape varietals that are most suited for the area are grown, yields are kept low and only the best clusters go into the wine that is bottled.
