About the Winery:
Located in the hills to the northeast of the city of Verona, Cantina di Verona is a cooperative founded in 1958. The winery today brings together about 250 farms, which cultivate a total of about 750 hectares of vineyards, of which more than 30 are organic.
The roots of Cantina di Verona are firmly planted where it all began, in the beauty and history of Verona, a place that Cantina di Verona protects and promotes. Here, wine is culture. This is where grapevines have been a fundamental part of the landscape since time immemorial. Their goal is therefore to preserve the land as it is, respecting it and ensuring that it remains intact for future generations.
In the vineyard as in the winery, ancient knowledge is accompanied by the most innovative technologies, in the constant interaction between past and future which allows the wines to express themselves at their best.
