On the palate, dry, medium-bodied, with a fine balance of sweetness and acidity and a silky smoothness. Long, harmonious finish with aging potential. The Cavalchina Amedeo Custoza Superiore is a perfect companion to fish and seafood, white meat, risotto, fine antipasti, creamy cheeses – or simply enjoyed solo as a sophisticated wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"613\" data-end=\"920\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"613\" data-end=\"627\"\u003eVineyards:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"627\" data-end=\"630\"\u003eThe vines grow on gentle hills at 120 to 140 meters above sea level with a southern exposure.
