An open-minded “exercise de style”. This has always been the best way to describe our production philosophy. We like to interpret our work in the vineyard and in the winery as a unique and creative exercise, free from preconceived ideas or conditioning of any sort.
A family-run estate, carrying the same name of the small village where we live. Our wines convey the character of their terroir and of the people who make them with a creative-and consequently unique-imprint.
July 2014 marked the beginning of our conversion to organic viticulture, until 2017 when we received the certification. We cultivate just under 8 hectares of land, split up between three different sites with maximum respect for the singular characteristic the nature bestows on the fruits of our vines.

Since 2013 we added a fresh touch to our wines. Improved preservation, greater aromatic intensity, low environmental impact: these are just a few of the advantages represented by the screwcap usage.
We wanted to put out this brief edition of our newsletter just to let you know that, in spite of plenty of limitations, closings, and the consequent economic slowdown—which has hit our sector hard--, here at Cantrina work in the vineyards has never stopped. We have continued to prune, manure, and tend the vineyards, and in the cellar we have been working on all the new vintages preparatory to bottling.
Just a few days ago, we bottled our 2020 organic rosés: Rosanoire and Valtènesi Chiaretto will be available and ready to enjoy starting in April.
