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.

Food and wine stories
The name of the winery is borrowed from “a tiny rural village of Valtènesi located in the municipality of Bedizzole, in the Brescia hinterland of Lake Garda in Lombardy”. In fact, it is in Cantrina that Cristina Inganni and Diego Lavo live and work, the founders of this small, strictly family-run company with just under 8 hectares of land to cultivate ’on the hills of morainic origin in three different plots for a total of 45 thousand vine stocks“.

Cantrina - La dolce Italia according to the sommeliers
Qualcuno gioca in casa, come Manuele Meneghini, sommelier di Lido 84 a Gardone Riviera: «Il mio vino per le feste è Sole di Dario dell'azienda Cantrina, di Bedizzole in Valtènesi. E un blend di Sauvignon, Semillon e Riesling in cui i profumi di albicocca, dattero e agrumi si fondono alle note speziate, che creano la suggestione di un viaggio verso luoghi lontani e si elevano in un sorso di grande freschezza ed equilibrio gustativo. E un vino a cui sono particolarmente legato, che possiede per me il potere evocativo della tavola imbandita e del calore umano».

Cantrina: the first twenty years
We have known Cristina Inganni for many years, practically since the beginning of her adventure in the world of wine; she had been introduced to us by a producer friend in Lugana and so we have been able to taste her wines several times over the years. Later we also met Diego Lavo, who later became co-owner of the Cantrina winery.dig
