italy-venetocavalchina is the name of the district where the winery is located, probably after the residence of the Conte Cavalchini. It is on the southeast border of the Garda amphitheater dating from the end of the Ice Age.
This area has long been recognized as a vine growing district, indeed in 1848 the land was registered and classified by the ruling Hapsburg authorities in the first and second quality categories. This was based not only on quality but also on consistency of good production, essentially due to the capacity of the soil to stay moist in hot seasons.

The Cavalchina district was the site of both first and second War of Independency during the Risorgimento. The memorial basilisk to the 1866 battle is at the entrance to Cavalchina’s estate; it commemorates, in particular, the Prince Amedeo di Savoia wounded at the battle.

The Azienda Agricola Cavalchina was created in the early 1900s with the purchase of the first vineyards. Later the cellar was built and originally included a distillery, which was in use until 1967.
By the 1960s the Piona family felt that the white wines of Custoza deserved better recognition than simply being labelled as Soave. From 1962 they were the first producers to label their white wines made from Fernanda, Trebbiano and Garganega with the Custoza name and to promote the name in key markets around Italy such as Rome and Milan.

And Noah he often said to his wife when he sat down to dine, "I don't care where the water goes if it doesn't get into the wine".

G.K. Chesterton(1874–1936)
Wine and Water
The smell of wine, oh how much more delicate, cheerful, gratifying, celestial and delicious it is than that of oil.

Rabelias

Wine gives great pleasure; and every pleasure is of itself a good.  It is a good, unless counterbalanced by evil.

Samuel Johnson
Boswell's Life of Johnson

Wine is the drink of the gods, milk the drink of babies, tea the drink of women, and water the drink of beasts.
