Befana 2018

posted on 8 January 2018
With best wishes for a happy start to the new year to you all, the Epiphany Befana has delivered some lovely gifts to Cantrina… One of them is big news! Vinitaly 2018: After years of participating in Düsseldorf's Prowein wine fair, in which we gained invaluable contacts, we decided to alter course and return to Vinitaly 2018</a, set to run 15-8 April of this year, in Verona as always. You will find us at our own stand inside the FIVI group space. As we already mentioned in previous newsletters, the 2017 growing year was our first certified organic season, and thus we are very close now to producing our very first certified organic wine: towards the end of January 2018, Rosanoire 2017 will be bottled, for release this very spring. You’ll have to exercise a bit more patience, though, for the other wines, which require longer ageing and will go to bottling over the next 2-3-4 years. Another big development is that Cantrina will now be “social connected.” We have selected Instagram as our channel of communications, and our objective is to achieve speedier and more frequent contacts with our customers, friends, and wine-lovers. If you want to follow us, our Instagram moniker is cantrina winery. BUT, please be both understanding and patient, since neither I nor Diego is very “technology-friendly.” New Video: We wanted to keep this news dispatch short so that you would have time to watch our new winery video clip—it’ll only take you a couple of minutes. We’d love to know what you think of it! Diego and Cristina

Speaking of the harvest…

posted on 12 July 2011
The curtain has gone up on the 2011 harvest… rather earlier than usual: we in fact started picking in mid-August. Spring this year, which was particularly hot and precocious, already made us think that there would be an early harvest, even if June and July – unusually cool but with just the right amount of regular rainfall – slightly slowed down ripening. But then along came the crazy, Sahara-like temperatures of the second half of August to speed things up again. In view of the sudden drop in acidity that accompanied the final stages of ripening, we were particularly concerned with preserving the freshness and healthiness of the fruit, so as to obtain wines that were still naturally fresh and well-balanced.

Vinitaly 2011 Every time that Vinitaly comes around it seems that time has just flown by… Like last year, we won’t be having our own stand, but those who want to taste our products will still be able to do so on the Garda Classico Consortium’s stand, no. D8 in the Lombardy Pavilion at PalaExpo. The winery, naturally, will remain open for visits or tastings.

Cantrina in real time

posted on 4 March 2011
I am writing from New York… I try in English (no time, unfortunately to have our dear Michael Benson translating for us). The weather is fine, better than in Italy, chilly temperature but no snow. The city is amazing, as always and each time I’m back it seems to me like being back home. Just an update about the mess I’m doing here, working in New York for the second time this year. Today a benefit event will be held by the Brooklyn based Issue project Room, rapidly becoming the point of reference for contemporary art in the New York area. Cantrina is a proud sponsor and our wines will be the only ones in tasting for the night
