Cavalchina is the name of the area where the company is located, a name that probably was attributed to the fact that it was the residence of Count Cavalchini.
Located in the extreme South–East of the morainic amphitheater of Lake Garda, it has always had a vinegrowing vocation. In effect, the land registry of the Hapsburgs in 1848 already reports the existence of a large number of vineyards with the classification of Frist and Second category.
Probably, this classification was not only based on quality, but took into account the constant of production of the vineyard, to say, that of its resistance to drought, the main feature of the moraine soils of Lake Garda.
Cavalchina was stage of battles during the Fist and Second Wars of Independence; to witness the battle of 1866, a brown slate obelisk that commemorates the wounding of Prince Amedeo of Savoy remains.
The Cavalchina Farm was founded at the beginning of the latest century with the purchasing of the first group of vineyards, the winery was built later and was partly intended as a vinasse distillery, a facility which remained in activity until 1967. The most important historical fact linked to the Cavalchina Farm within the wine cellar was certainly the invention of Custoza, as Cavalchina in 1962 was the first to call Custoza the white wine of the area, obtained from Fernanda, Trebbiano and Garganega grapes, and to bring this wine to establish itself in the markets, then the most important, such as Rome and Milan.
