La Cavalchina

Cavalchina is the name of the area where the winery has been built and is probably named after the old residence of the Count Cavalchini.The estate is in the south east of the Garda amphitheatre which has long been a wine producing area. Cavalchina was a battleground during the first and second Wars of Independence in the late 19th century. Evidence of the Battle of Custoza in 1866 is a stone obelisk near the entrance to the Cavalchina estate, which indicates that Prince Amedeo of Savoy was wounded there. The estate was established at the beginning of the 20th century when the family bought the first vineyards. The most important aspect of Azienda Agricola Cavalchina is that in 1962 it was the first producer to put Custoza on the label as the name of the wine from the region. They are now recognised as the foremost quality producer of Bianco di Custoza wines.
