In particular, this one from Cantrina winery, a company from Bedizzole (BS), is a very simple pink, as if just blooming, very faint, a watercoloured carmine. It somehow announces the barely suffused scents of small, ripening red fruits, slow notes of fresh flowers and embraces some very evanescent scents that briefly touch me. This is a pink Valtènesi, made only from Groppello grapes. Six hours of maceration on the skins: just the right amount to obtain a very delicate wine (too much always cripples everywhere). A wine without exaggerated pretensions, pleasant to drink, and therefore always or in any case; thanks to its fine acidity and slender yet full body, it goes well with a mixed board in friendship, or with a not too exaggerated pasta dish, but also with a refined fish dinner. A very simple wine, yet endowed with great versatility. Moreover, it is a wine that I like a lot, both because it has a screw cap (a courageous choice, at least at the time, for a company from the hinterland of Brescia and which sells mainly in Italy) and because of its artistically appealing labels.
