About us
Cantina Gozzi is the story of a family that, for three generations, has cultivated and refined the fruits of the land with love and passion.
The cantina is the result of a constant striving for quality, obtained through the blend of the local traditional knowledge and new technologies, with a maximum respect for nature and, therefore, for humankind.
From its birth in 1920, nonno Bortolo and Cesare Gozzi, flanked the production of wine with livestock and cereal cultivation. In 1985, however, the brothers Cesare and Franco (grandsons of the founder Cesare) decided to concentrate all of their strengths on making wine: building a new underground-cellar and planting new vineyards.
Thanks to their very precise and careful work, our wines are able to express all of the richness and quality that the unique and varied terroir of the Garda morainic hills can bestow on them.
The company grows in the heart of Mantova's morainic hills, a few kilometers south from Garda lake, on a very varied soil: pebbly, draining and calcareous on the hills' top, rich in clay and sand in the lower spots. The climate is mitigated by the lake, which gives freshness and elegance to our wines.

Our philosophy is to preserve the cultivation of the local autochthonous varieties: Rondinella and Rossanella as reds, Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave as whites. These grapes are blended with international ones such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The vineyards are modern, with almost 6000 vines/ha and a low yield.
The training system used are mainly Guyot and spurred cordon, with manual pruning and harvest.
