"Villa Canestrari" was founded in the nineties by the merger of the Bonuzzi and Franchi families, both with over 120 years of winemaking tradition, and has become the symbol and the main brand of a new production philosophy that has as its goal the quality and typicality of the territory. The vineyards, all of the property, are located in the hills east of Verona, in Val d’Illasi. Thanks to these and various microclimates, every single production area is enhanced in its typicality in the best way. The cellar of vinification, the one of processing and the loft for the resting grapes are located in Colognola ai Colli.
In Illasi, over the aging cellars of "Villa Canestrari", the Wine Museum has been created, which collects tools for winemaking of the end of nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries. In the "barn", where once they put to dry the grapes for Recioto and Amarone, courses for taster, themed tasting evenings with tasting of wines from various regions of Italy and abroad take place today, and the cuture of wine and that of the territory are promoted.
