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

Cantrina Ventennale
On 13 May, we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our winery with a vertical tasting showcasing the three wines that, from our founding to the present, have become iconic. We selected the vintages of each that are most representative of the evolution of the blends, production methods, and ageing. The years tasted are: - Riné (1999, 2002, 2005, 2008, 2013, 2017) - Nepomuceno (1999, 2001, 2005, 2007, 2011, 2015) - Sole di Dario (1999, 2001, 2006, 2009, 2012)

For it was in “long-ago” 1999, amidst countless apprehensions, much enthusiasm, and just a pinch of bravado, that we decided to launch “Project Cantrina.” It represented above all the long-time dream of founder Dario Dattoli, who since the early 1990s dedicated himself to producing just handful of bottles—but made with meticulous care!—for his own enjoyment in his numerous restaurants.
