A busy Spring in Cantrina

posted on 21 March 2014
A busy Spring in Cantrina These sun-filled days are gorgeous, and nature is in full flower. We winegrowers are always keeping a wary eye on the sky and our mind on the growing season: we hope it’s a good beginning… But we’ll talk about the season a bit later; let me tell you first about what’s going on here at Cantrina. PROWEIN As I’m writing this, I’m finishing preparations for ProWein; in fact, I’m almost out the door! Cantrina was invited by Merum to participate for the first time in the most important wine show in northern Europe, on 23-25 March. Germany is very important for us, both for current sales as well as what we could do there in the future. Come see us in Hall 3 at Stand R50. Vinitaly 2014: It’s going to be a very busy spring! We’ll be present with all of our wines at Vinitaly, only on Sunday 6 and Tuesday 8 April. Come visit us at the Consorzio Valtènesi group stand in Padiglione Regione Lombardia Palaexpo, stand C 9, zona Valtènesi. Marketing news: The 2013 vintage of Rosanoire is out, featuring the Stelvin screwcap. April will see the release of Groppello 2013 2013, and Zerdì 2011 2011 too will be out very soon. National association Le Donne del Vino (Women in Wine) Just a few days ago, I completed my term as Lombardy Delegate to the Associazione Nazionale Le Donne del Vino. 2013 was a year filled with important activities. We took part in the festivities in Milan for the 50th anniversary of Coin, participated in the  Italia in Rosa project, quickly organised the celebration of the Lombardy Delegation’s 25th birthday, helping an important non-profit, upgraded our communications, and… I’m surely forgetting something! I have worked very hard at times, but also experienced great satisfaction. This responsibility has given me the opportunity of getting to know the association much better and to see its future potential, and naturally to understand its limits as well. So Good-bye for now, as I get ready for ProWein (see you there?). Cristina

Befana 2016

posted on 5 January 2016
As is by now our tradition, the Befana di Cantrina, our very own Good Witch, wants to extend her warm wishes to all our friends and customers for a New Year filled with peace and serenity. At long last, after two challenging harvests, the splendid 2015 was gifted to us, an experience we wouldn’t mind at all repeating, so, please, let’s all start rooting for a fabulous 2016! And now for the news from Cantrina.

Harvest over–a great vintage?

posted on 12 October 2015
Our harvest is complete this year too, and we brought home the fruits of an entire year’s hard work in the vineyards. As always, this is also the time for observations and predictions, with everyone expressing an opinion on the overall quality of the vintage: stars, glasses, clusters, etc. are being generously spread over the season. One thing is sure, though, and that is that the climate is changing, and that will certainly impact our work, which is in large part intimately connected to what nature offers us. We will have to get used to weather marked by extremes: the present 2015, in fact, compared to the cold, rainy 2014, is precisely the opposite. But we all know that extremes do not always make for good balance!

Befana 2015

Warm wishes to all from the Befana!!! As always, we like to wait until the beginning of the new year to send everyone our best wishes for the holidays just past and our hopes that the new year will start off in the best way possible. Looking a bit down the road, and at our own life here, we are hopeful that 2015 will be a terrific growing year–and, who knows, perhaps even a great vintage! OK, maybe I’m going a little too fast here, or even just dreaming… so it’s best that I let you know what’s been happening with Cantrina.
