Cantine Giacomo Montresor S.p.a.

Founded in 1892, Cantine Giacomo Montresor S.p.a. has helped define Veronese viticulture by crafting two great *appassimento* reds: Amarone della Valpolicella and Recioto della Valpolicella, both DOCG. These are wines of concentration, born from grapes left to rest and aged for no less than twenty-four months. In the fermentation rooms and underground cellars of the estate, one can trace the oenological logic behind each vintage: the transformation from dried grapes to structured wine. The difference between these two pillars of production reveals two facets of the same territory: the dry and powerful Amarone, and the sweet, meditative Recioto. Tastings pair them with local cured meats and cheeses, bringing the glass back to the Valpolicella region. Visitors can walk through the same rooms where the wine matures and understand, glass in hand, what distinguishes the two denominations: an itinerary to book to traverse over a century of Veronese viticulture and taste these two reds directly in the cellar.
