Cantine Giacomo Montresor

In Verona, Cantine Giacomo Montresor has been working since 1892 on a single denomination, Custoza DOC, a white wine that blends three key Veronese varieties: Garganega, Trebbiano Toscano, and Cortese. From this foundation, the winery produces three interpretations of the same wine—bianco, superiore, and riserva—which differ more in structure and aging potential than in aromatic profile. The most distinctive part remains underground. Visitors descend into the hypogeum cellars to follow the wine from crushing and fermentation to aging in the ancient *fruttai*, environments that tell a story of winemaking methods layered over time. At the end of the tour, tastings pair these mineral-driven whites with local cured meats and cheeses, reinforcing the winery's declared conviction: that wine belongs to its origins. It's worth booking a visit specifically for this subterranean journey, where the single Custoza denomination reveals its most concrete articulation.
