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

Harvest 2020

posted on 5 November 2020
Warm greetings to you all! It’s already late autumn and therefore the time to draw some overall conclusions about the 2020 harvest that just ended. We mentioned in our last newsletter that in our area, and in particular for those of us who have chosen the path of farming organically, it was certainly a difficult growing year, with plenty of heavy rains, sometimes along with hail, that accompanied us from June on, almost right up to the start of harvest

Vendemmia 2020 Cantrina
We’re just about there...This year, too, we’re almost into harvest. That despite a winter that was among the warmest and driest in memory, despite the Covid-19 crisis and lockdown, decked out in gloves and masks; despite the late spring and near-rainless summer; despite hail here and there that did some damage; despite the ultra-vigorous foliage in the vineyards that made us re-double our efforts to ward off fungal attacks and carefully monitor the crop; and despite all the large and small problems that we have to always confront every day “on the grape-growing front”.

A NEW YEAR AND NEW VINTAGES ARRIVING

RINE’ GAINS A SCREW CAP

This coming March, the new 2018 vintage of Riné, its second vintage as a certified organic wine, will debut on the market under a screw cap for the first time, and so we want to talk a bit about this type of closure. We have been using this closure for some years now for Rosanoire, and since last year for our latest-born Valtènesi Chiaretto. We have found the results positive in terms of cellarability, soundness, and crispness, in particular over the medium- and long-term; our customers, often tired of opening wines that were tainted, have expressed full satisfaction.
