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

2021 year-end report

posted on 17 December 2021
Here we are at the end of 2021, and it has been even more stressful and challenging from various points of view: the freeze we had in the spring; the uncertainties we are all aware of, that make it so hard to make long-term plans; the work that we had to do, which exceeded all mid-year and later projections; and finally our usual autumn newsletter is off the presses so late. Cantrina is known for producing, in very limited editions, wines whose hallmarks are decisive personalities and strong characters, in some cases utterly unique, wines that targeted to niche markets of dedicated wine-lovers and represent the quintessence and vital spirit of our winery.

Virtual tour and new e-commerce

posted on 27 August 2021
Over the past few months, we have been working on a new project that we are now ready to launch. With the goal of cancelling geographical boundaries and reducing the distance between all you loyal wine-lovers, we have re-structured, updated, and enlarged our mygroppello platform. This virtual universe will allow you to relate to our partners abroad and to purchase what we produce at Cantrina. We also improved our tours here at the winery, which you can now book online both at www.cantrina.it and at mygroppello; for all of you Amici di Cantrina who are reading this, nothing will change, and tours will obviously remain complimentary. Just access our online calendar and come see us: we’re ready to welcome you here with our usual straightforward simplicity. For those of you farther away, and those who would like to know more about us before coming, mygroppello also has a section dedicated to a virtual tour of Cantrina, our uniquely-easy way of helping you to discover our small universe here at Cantrina.

Waiting for spring

Aspettando la primavera...
We wanted to put out this brief edition of our newsletter just to let you know that, in spite of plenty of limitations, closings, and the consequent economic slowdown—which has hit our sector hard--, here at Cantrina work in the vineyards has never stopped. We have continued to prune, manure, and tend the vineyards, and in the cellar we have been working on all the new vintages preparatory to bottling. Just a few days ago, we bottled our 2020 organic rosés: Rosanoire and Valtènesi Chiaretto will be available and ready to enjoy starting in April.
