Brescia Oggi dedicates an article to Azienda Agricola Cantrina after winning third prize at the Best Merlot of Italy exhibition, here are the highlights: Cantrina makes it three at the “Merlot d'Italia” show (...) Cantrina triumphs again in Aldeno and opens the door to the «autochthonous»: the winery from Bedizzole, managed by Cristina Inganni with her husband Diego Lavo, won for the third consecutive time the title of «best IGT label of previous vintages» at the Mostra dei Merlot d'Italia in Aldeno (Tn), an increasingly prestigious event dedicated exclusively to this prestigious grape variety.

Venue: Azienda Agricola Cantrina - Patricia Guy

“Venue: Azienda Agricola Cantrina (near the hamlet of Cantrina, which is near Lake Garda) I am giving two producers, a winemaking student and the representative from the Local Wine Roads association a final lesson in speaking about wine in English. Cristina, the owner of the estate, is a vivacious and attractive young woman. She had been an interior designer up until the death of her first husband. She then decided to take over and run the business. “I like wines with strong personalities,” she says. She designed the logo for the company, which is used on most labels - a sun surrounded by undulating rays of light. “My husband was from the South of Italy,” she says. “Where there is a lot of sun. So I chose to make the logo as a remembrance of him.”

We like to approach work in the vineyard and in the cellar as a ”free exercise of style...”, therefore free of preconceptions and conditioning, but with the utmost respect for the peculiarities that nature bestows on the fruit of our vineyards. Words and music by Cristina Inganni and Diego Lavo, owners of one of the most beautiful oenological realities of the Valtènesi (strictly with an accent). La Cantrina as we call it, is a small winery founded in the early 1990s, located in a small village (Cantrina precisely) in the municipality of Bedizzole. The company covers about 6 hectares and has a total production of 20 thousand bottles. The vineyards enjoy a very favourable microclimate and soil, sunshine and good temperature ranges favour the ripening of the grapes, while the morainic soils manage to give the wines structure and freshness at the same time.”

Cantrina is a small hamlet in the Valtènesi valley that gives its name to the small winery where Cristina Inganni and Diego Lavo work in the vineyard and cellar. They are convinced that wine must express personality, uniqueness and be able to speak of its territory of origin. The soils on which the winery is located yield structured wines with good alcohol content, good minerality and high acidity. Long-lived wines that are born with natural respect for the interaction between soil and vineyard. (...)
