Founded in the early 1900s, Cavalchina is an important producer in the area of Custoza. In the 1960s they made the pioneering decision to stop selling their white as 'Soave' and instead promote it as 'Bianco di Custoza'. This rosé is made from a similar blend to what you might find in Valpolicella. It has a fresh, light red cherry aroma, with flavours of strawberry and cherry. It has a light citrus freshness and a clean, juicy finish, making this an ideal wine to pair with salads.
