The harvest 2018 has started!

posted on 12 September 2018
The season is favorable to a plentiful production, the grape is wonderful! See the video of the harvest. We are particularly proud because for the first time Lorenzo, our 17-years-old son, decided to help us, at least until he will come back to school. Time flies, it seems like only yesterday when as a child he put his small hands between grapes and filled his mouth with them. Nowadays he gathers grapes, cases and works hard in order to take home the harvest. Cristina

Groppello 2015

posted on 22 October 2015
In exercising my profession, I’ve been “treading the vineyards” for a good thirty years now, more or less, and I never expected to find such utterly fantastic Groppello! Totally unexpected, because Groppello, planted over hardly more than 400 hectares, exclusively on the Brescian side of Lago di Garda, is a challenging grape to grow. Its tight-packed cluster of “knotted-up” (groppello) berries; thin skin, with often little pigment; its hard-to-achieve balance of sugar and acidity—all these mean that even in good growing years the grapes struggle to ripen adequately, and suffer attacks of mould well before the harvest arrives.

Una giornata di imbottigliamento a Cantrina

posted on 15 July 2015
Giornata lunga, caldissima e impegnativa: abbiamo, infatti, messo in bottiglia e confezionato più di 17.000 bottiglie – un record per la nostra piccola azienda – tra vini di nostra produzione e quelli in conto lavorazione per altre aziende. L’imbottigliamento è l’ultima fase del processo di produzione di un vino ed è un momento molto delicato, nel quale nulla deve essere lasciato al caso, poiché si rischierebbe di vanificare mesi (e a volte anni) di attesa e lavoro per una semplice mancanza o disattenzione.

Here we go again: cut the weeds, sucker, select and thin the buds, train the shoots on the wires… The season hasn’t even started yet and we’re already behind with our work in the vineyards, and from here until harvest we’ll be running back and forth to keep the vineyards in good condition.
