About the wine
Mouthwateringly fresh and fruity whites like this are turning Custoza into a household name
-
Marica and her family have been making top-class Italian wines in the Custoza region for 3 generations. But being based in a little under-the-radar pocket of the Veneto, they’ve never got the attention they deserved. Things are starting to change now though, as wines like this stunning Bianco are starting to turn Custoza into a household name.
-
Made from a classy blend of native Italian grapes - Garganega, Cortese, Trebbianello, and Trebbiano Toscano - it’s an absolutely delicious white packed full of fresh and fruity flavour. You get mouth-watering hints of citrus, peach and pineapple, with a classy finish that lingers on the tastebuds.
-
For now, Custoza is still a bit of a hidden gem, so at just £11.99 a bottle you’ll struggle to find Italian wines of this quality anywhere at this price. But the experts are starting to cotton on - one of the Bonomos’ wines was even named in the Top 100 in the world by Wine Spectator recently - and once hundreds of thousands of Angels get a taste, it won’t be long before the whole world is raving about Custoza wines like this.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Marica Bonomo
-
We knew Marica would be a perfect fit for Naked when she joined us back in 2022, and that Angels would love her wines. But to go from a standing start to Winemaker of the Year in just two years is nothing short of extraordinary.
-
Marica is exactly the kind of hard-working, humble but uber-talented winemaker Naked was set up to support. A third generation winemaker, her family have been crafting top-quality Italian wines for 66 years, up in the hills near Lake Garda in the Veneto region. They don’t use pesticides or herbicides, and can paper the walls of their recently renovated, solar-powered winery with so many sustainability credentials and certificates. And by producing only wines that come from their own vineyards, Marica knows the identity and soul of every single grape that goes into them.
-
In recent years, Marica’s wines have started to get noticed in high places, including being named in the ‘Top 100 Wines’ in the world by Wine Spectator. And now she’s topped it all by being named your 2023 Winemaker of the Year. It couldn't have happened to a nicer lady.
