Costaripa was founded on the Vezzola family's winemaking activities in Moniga del Garda. Documented origins date back to the late 1920s, when Mattia Vezzola senior began producing and selling wine in the area. In the following decades the estate consolidated production of the area's typical rosés, introduced sparkling wines made using the traditional method and modernized the winery with a new facility completed in the early 2000s. The winery continues to celebrate local tradition alongside winemaking innovation under the guidance of Mattia Vezzola.
