The story does not say why Fortunato insulted Montresor. In fact, there is doubt that there ever were any insults at all. They might have simply been a product of Montresor's imagination
Yes, in "The Cask of Amontillado," Fortunato insulted Montresor by calling him a fool and questioning his knowledge of wine. This insult serves as motivation for Montresor's revenge against Fortunato.
He probably did not. Montresor states that he has suffered a thousand injuries from Fortunato and then when Fortunato added insult as well, Montresor vowed revenge. Nowhere in the story does Montresor describe these thousand injuries and insults. Then, when Montresor meets Fortunato at the carnival, Fortunato is only too glad to see Montresor and to leave the festivities to taste the Amontillado. Of course, Fortunato is also driven by his vanity to go with Montresor, but Fortunato's actions are nothing but friendly and helpful. Fortunato is completely off his guard when in the cellar despite Montresor's hints at revenge. These certainly are not the actions of a person who has heaped injury and insult on Montresor, especially after discussing with Montresor the family's motto that no insult will be tolerated by the Montresor family.
