Corte Quaiara is a charming boutique winery nestled in the Moreniche region of Verona, Italy. Founded in 2013 by Giovanni Montresor on his maternal grandparents' farm, this winery benefits from unique glacial soils. These ancient soils, formed from melting ice during the great glaciations, are rich in minerals yet low in nutrients. This combination allows the vines to thrive, producing wines that reflect the region's rich history and terroir.
The Morainic hills, combined with the local climate and carefully selected grape varieties, create wines with distinctive flavors that are hard to find elsewhere. The vineyard cultivates a variety of grapes, including Pinot Nero, Pinot Grigio, Goldtraminer, Oseleta, Chardonnay, Syrah, Petit Verdot, Merlot, Teroldego, Garganega, and Cortese. The best grapes from each harvest are transformed into exceptional red, white, and sparkling wines.
Corte Quaiara employs stainless steel tanks for fermentation, followed by aging in terracotta amphorae for nine months. To enhance the quality of their wines, they limit the yield from their best vineyards to just 4,400 pounds of grapes per acre, significantly lower than the typical 13,200 pounds. This meticulous approach ensures that each bottle captures the essence of the vineyard and the unique characteristics of the region.

Special cellar! Perfect wines for demanding palates... the owner Giovanni is a great person and makes equal wines! Compliments! Buy wines now, in 10 years they will cost three times as much! I bought a few cases! Thanks also for the jar of persimmons and honey 🥰 everything was good!!!

Maybe the best wine tasting we’ve ever had so far! Giovanni took us through the vineyard and explained the different grape varieties he is using. Corte Quaiara has a varietal approach and all the wines are absolutely spectacular. Special mention to the Pinot Noir which can earnestly rate among very good Bourgognes. The sparkling wine made in the traditional method and with Champagne grape varieties is also a special treat, different in many ways but totally as worthy. Deserves a visit!

We had a wine tasting on a weekday afternoon just for 2 people and it was just a really nice experience. We do this often when in wine areas (so did quite some tastings before) and can say it was really outstanding nice. Giovanni does it himself and you can ask all kind of questions that he is happy to answer. Very interesting how he manages his vinyards the natural way and the wines are so different and balanced out - just really great taste. Can highly recommend :)
