About the Winery

Giacomo Montresor: A Legacy of Excellence in the Heart of Verona

Officially founded in 1892 , the Giacomo Montresor winery is a cornerstone of Veronese winemaking and the custodian of a family tradition that dates back to the 17th century. Strategically located at the gateway to Valpolicella , the company is today a global symbol of dedication to winemaking, combining respect for the past with a cutting-edge production vision.

The Art of Tradition and the Satin Icon

The winery's history is marked by pioneering intuitions that have redefined the aesthetics of Italian wine worldwide. One example is the iconic 1921 Satinata bottle : designed to protect the quality of the product during long ocean crossings, its frosted surface and shape reminiscent of the ancient flask have made it a symbol of timeless elegance and prestige. This attention to detail is reflected in every stage of production, from the vineyard to the bottle, preserving an identity that has made Montresor a protagonist at the most important international exhibitions since 1873.

About the Wines

In 1892 Giacomo Montresor founded the Giacomo Montresor Cellars, giving life to a production that, since then and until today, is an identity expression of its origins: an identity and a style unlike any other. Cantine Giacomo Montresor collects its grapes from 40 hectares of vineyards, the heart of the company which has always been worked with dedication and respect. From the lands that host the native Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Molinara vineyards, the unique character of a natural amphitheater territory that favors the production of wines of great depth and rigor is expressed.

Pleasant discovery
The tour was interesting and engaging.
The guy who explained to us was knowledgeable and pleasant to listen to at all times.
The tasting was also satisfying, both for the wines offered and for the food that accompanied everything.
Overall I would definitely recommend this tour

Beautiful, good, a must-do.
We did the tour on 25/04.
A very nice tour of the cellar and museum, maybe a bit rushed, but truly complete and with a part related to flavors/aromas and soils that was very interesting (in our opinion it deserved a bit more in-depth time).
The tasting was truly excellent, complete (the oil was also much appreciated) and with a generous charcuterie board. Obviously, taste is extremely personal, but we really appreciated the wines we tasted.
The tour could be more detailed in the museum part and where they talk about the territory.
During the tasting it would be nice to have a price list on hand with discounts reserved for the cellar, not only for the wines being tasted but also for the other wines from the winery (of which there are very many). We purchased bottles from the tasting but also 2 bottles of sparkling wine that were not part of the tasting but we knew we would appreciate (and indeed they were much appreciated).

Super tour and tasting
I didn't know the Montresor winery before the visit and I was thrilled! A beautiful tour: the museum exhibit is really well done, with the plus of the guy who accompanied us with the very engaging story of the winery's history. The wine tasting was exceptional, relaxing atmosphere, and the amarone is truly extraordinary!

It's nice to learn
Very good experience, kind and helpful staff. It's always nice to learn something new and it's even nicer to do it in company with some good wine.
Maybe the theory part on winemaking, the cellar, and the company's history could be improved.

Tasting of Typical Wines at Montresor
We enjoyed our wine tasting experience at Montresor Winery. First of all, we were greeted warmly by the staff. Then we learned a lot about the winery and Valpolicella during the tour which was given by a very knowledgeable guide. Finally, the wines we tried were all good, paired well with the various cheeses and cured meats provided. The experience broadened our wine and food pairing knowledge.

Wonderful experience!
We’ve had a wonderful afternoon at Montresor. In Valpolicella. A warm welcome with a cup of good strong Italian coffee, a guided tour tlby an expert-host with interesting stories about history, wine making and marketing. We’ve seen the wine archive and could try to find out the different scents of fruit and herbs in the wine. And, as the cherry on the cake, such a delicious tasting, with the best of their wines and the best regional cheeses and ham. We really felt special, that afternoon. Thank you, people of Montresor!

Disappointed
We arrived there at the agreed-upon time and had to wait another 20 minutes before starting our tasting.
The tour was interesting enough, too bad that at the end, before getting the wine, there was another endless wait because they had created some confusion with the other Valentine's Day tastings.
As for the platters, we had to ask twice before getting them because they had gotten confused with those too, and we received them without bread because they had run out…
A shame…

Cordiale Anca, la ringraziamo per il suo riscontro e ci rincresce che il nostro servizio non sia stato di suo gradimento.

Abbiamo visionato la sua prenotazione e sicuramente tutto ciò è stato frutto di uno spiacevole malinteso poiché la sua degustazione non prevedeva l'inclusione dei nostri taglieri di formaggi e salumi per il quale viene richiesta una maggiorazione di 10 euro a persona, ma solamente i nostri 5 vini più rappresentativi ed un semplice snack in base alla disponibilità.
Per scusarci del malinteso e del fatto che abbia dovuto attendere per lungo tempo, con la presente la reinvitiamo presso la nostra struttura per farle assaporare l'apice della nostra ospitalità e farle cambiare punto di vista.
Ci contatti pure alla nostra email wineshop@vinimontresor.it

-Cordialmente,
Staff Cantine Giacomo Montresor
