WHY THE SCREW CAP?

posted on 4 June 2024

ORGANIC WINE AT CANTRINA

Right from the very start of our efforts as Winegrowers, we have firmly committed ourselves to producing high quality wine, and always with profound respect for the local terroir and overall environment in which we work.

WHY THE SCREW CAP?

 
  • Drastic reduction of sulphite use at bottling, better for the wine and for consumers’ health
  • The wine holds up better and retains its freshness.
  • Much easier to use "un-screw/ re-screw" feature that re-inserting traditional corks.
  • Low environmental impact and re-cyclable, versus cork forests, which have been devastated in recent years by unresponsible bark-stripping.
  • No more bad-smelling “corked wine” wine from those defective corks
 

ProWein 2015

Here I am back from Prowein, and this year simply confirms my opinion from the first year I participated, that it’s a thoroughly professional event, and very useful to wine professionals. Yes, there’s a lot of activity in the halls, but it’s quite calm and serious, and one doesn’t get over-tired.

Still in cork, but in the future… who knows?

Thank you very much for participating in our survey. All of your opinions were valuable to us, and we would like to report to you what we have decided regarding screwcaps for our Valtènesi (Groppello) and Riné. In spite of the strong preference by sector professionals in favour of screwcaps, we realize that it is still premature for Cantrina to utilise screwcaps for the larger part of our wines.

Cork or Screwcap? That is the question

I would like to solicit your opinion regarding use of screwcaps. As a consequence of the positive results with our Rosanoire 2013 and 2014, we are evaluating the possibility of using it on our other wines.
