April: news from the Vineyards

posted on 4 May 2016
Just two pieces of news about the start of the season...
  1. Field and seasonal trend + organic
After a particularly beautiful and sunny winter, spring broke out with a rapidity that left us not a little surprised. With unusual anticipation, the vines started up again for the new season with unexpected strength thanks to almost summer-like temperatures, and we are now about two weeks ahead of a normal vegetative cycle. At first glance, we seem to be witnessing good, regular budding, with the fruit set expected to be far too abundant for now, but as we know, the season is still long... In the meantime, our path towards organic production continues, and from this year we are trying mechanical tillage of the under-row. We have put an old tool that had lain forgotten for years back in the field, and although this implies a greater burden of work, we think it will certainly benefit the vines.
  1. Bottling
We will soon bottle the Valtènesi 2015, our Groppello 100%, and let's face it, 2015 was indeed a very good year for this wine in particular, to which we are affectionately attached. For the first time, in fact, we are able to bottle wine from Groppello grapes grown entirely by us in the vineyard we rented last year and in the new vineyard planted in 2013, and we are convinced that this can be felt in the glass. In July it will be the turn of the Rinè 2015, now a constant in terms of product quality and identity, and the Nepomuk 2012 with which we are continuing on our path towards an increasingly austere and integral wine, perhaps little prone to market “mushyness”.
  1. Information on opening the cellar to the public and appointment notice
We would like to remind you that for those wishing to taste the products in the cellar or make purchases, it is always best to give notice of your arrival by phone or e-mail. Saturday is the day we devote the most time to these meetings, but it is always better to let us know.  
  1. Upcoming events
Italia in rosa, from 10 to 12 June from 17:00 to 23:00 at the Moniga del Garda Castle, where it will be possible to taste the Rosanoire 2015. Cristina and Diego

Spring 2018 in the vineyard

posted on 16 May 2018
…and here it is already May… The vineyards this spring went through budbreak right on schedule, or nearly, but the weather in April, which was warm and sunny, advanced vine development, slightly earlier than in past seasons. The shoots are pushing out rapidly now and with a consistency we rarely see, so we are marching with giant steps to that magical, fragrant moment of the flowering of our future clusters.

See you at Vinitaly!

After four years of our attendance at Prowein, this year we decided to come back toVinitaly fair. We will share the booth with our friends from FIVI (Pavilion 8 Booth E7 07). We both believe in the Vignaioli Indipendenti phylosophy. See you in Verona, at the fair, also with the opportunity to visit Cantrina, 45 minutes from the fair. Contact us to fix a meeting (mail info@cantrina.it or telephone +39 335 6362137). Cristina and Diego

Prowein and Vinitaly

posted on 14 March 2018
Spring is a season full of events and exhibitions. Being Cantrina a family business and wanting to keep a good work-life balance, we decided this year to attend only Vinitaly instead of Prowein. Of course we will miss to meet some of our contacts in Düsseldorf, but we will be happy to be, after 2 years, in Verona, hosted by FIVI, the Italian Federation of Independent Winegrower (Pavilion 8 Booth E7 07).See you in Verona, you will be also welcome in Cantrina (only 45 min from Verona) to visit our estate.
