See you at Vinitaly!

posted on 9 April 2018
After four years of our attendance at Prowein, this year we decided to come back to Vinitaly fair. We will share the booth with our friends from FIVI (Pavilion 8 Booth E7 07). We both believe in the Vignaioli Indipendenti phylosophy. See you in Verona, at the fair, also with the opportunity to visit Cantrina, 45 minutes from the fair. Contact us to fix a meeting (mail info@cantrina.it or telephone +39 335 6362137). Cristina and Diego

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 Dusseldorf’s Prowein wine fair, in which we gained invaluable contacts, we decided to alter course and return to Vinitaly in 2018, 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.

The wine-grower’s post-harvest wrap-up

Considerazioni del produttore
Now that the fermentations are nearly finished, it’s time for our usual overview with respect to the 2017 harvest—or perhaps better, the 2017 vintage year. As expected, the extremely hot weather and lack of rainfall—some 60% less than normal– that marked the entire season brought the harvest forward by two full weeks, which meant that on 18 August the first pinot noir clusters for Rosanoire were already in the cellar, and the white grapes came in just one week later.

Summer 2017 – Waiting for the harvest

posted on 7 August 2017
Well, we are almost there… After a very challenging season that spared us absolutely nothing, in terms of strange weather, we are just about to harvest the earliest-ripening grapes. Following a dry, but finally cold winter, an early, warm spring exploded on us in March, only to be abruptly interrupted on April 19 by a freeze that cost us about 30% of our crop… The season then continued, but without much rainfall, but with periods on increasing heat, particularly from June on. These were fortunately punctuated by a few rainstorms, which somewhat alleviated the drought that largely characterised this growing season.
