Since 1956, the Aldegheri family has been working in the heart of Valpolicella, driven by passion, dedication, and a continuous commitment to refining the winemaking craft that has made this territory renowned worldwide. Each family member contributes through a distinct role: Lorenzo oversees viticulture and vinification, Adriano manages administration and the development of innovative production systems, while their cousin Vincenzo leads the commercial activities and public relations. The second generation also plays a vital part, bringing fresh perspectives and modern expertise. The family spirit of the Aldegheri estate, combined with a perfect balance of technology, respect for nature, meticulous grape selection, and constant improvement of winemaking techniques, has enabled the creation of wines that embody the soul of the land and offer moments of genuine pleasure.

Custoza DOC Zaleo is made from carefully selected grapes. It shows a straw‑yellow colour, a lightly aromatic bouquet, and a delicate, fresh, slightly bitter palate.

Winemaking

Once the grapes arrive at the winery, vinification begins immediately: after crushing and cold soaking (cryomaceration), they are softly pressed. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 16–18 °C to preserve the fruit’s fragrance.

Food pairing

Excellent with light dishes such as raw fish and shellfish; outstanding as an aperitif.

Serving temperature: 10–12°C.
