Bengodii - of culture and other pleasures

Bengodii - of culture and other pleasures - UN ROSA, È UN ROSA, È UN ROSA... VALTÈNESI

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.

Valtènesi and Benaco Bresciano - Cantrina It is wonderful to arrive at the winery during the grape harvest. The green leaves, the full bunches of grapes, the vineyards covered in herbs and the warm summer sun. I met Cristina, the owner of Azienda Agricola Cantrina, who guided me through a tasting of all her wines. It was an incredible experience, not only for the territory, but also to get to know the personality of Cantrina.

Cantrina defies duties and strengthens in the US

Manhattan and Boston toast with Cantrina's signature Valtènesi: the Bedizzole winery recently signed an agreement that brought its share of US sales to 60% of total business 2024 exports. We have re-established contact with an importer we have known for 25 years, but who has changed strategy by concentrating on very small companies able to offer products from indigenous grape varieties.

Cantrina is a tiny rural hamlet in the municipality of Bedizzole, in the Brescia hinterland of Lake Garda. But it is also the name of the beautiful winery of Cristina Inganni and Diego Lavo, founded in 1999. (...) The range of labels offered by the Cantrina company has naturalness, integrity and respect for the land as its common thread. The Riviera del Garda Classico Groppello '23, which we awarded for the best value for money in the region in the Gambero Rosso's Berebene 2025 guide, is also a spokesman for these demands.
