History
Amedeo was introduced to offer a premium oak-influenced tier to the Custoza range, addressing demand for a more complex, age-worthy Bianco di Custoza. Named for Amedeo Piona, a previous generation of the founding family, it uses the same DOC blend but with a portion fermented in new barriques.
