Cantrina makes it three at the “Merlot d'Italia” - Brescia Oggi

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. The award went to «Nepomuceno 2004», the flagship label of this small winery that for years has been distinguishing itself for a very special approach to the viticulture of the area, focused above all on the nuances and characteristics that the unique terroir of the Valtenesi can offer to the «repertoire» of great international wines.

Cantrina, target doubling - Brescia Oggi

The «little» Cantrina wants to grow and become big: the first step could only be the construction of a new wine cellar, which the Bedizzole farm - run by Cristina Inganni and Diego Lavo - officially inaugurated a year and a half after the start of work with a packed wine and food event for the media, restaurateurs and insiders. (...) Cantrina believes in it, having invested 300,000 euro in a technologically advanced 420 m2 ’ecostructure«, which, in order to take advantage of the drop production process, was completely buried and subsequently covered by a replanted vineyard. »One of the main objectives was to reduce the environmental impact to a minimum,« said Cristina Inganni, although, of course, for a small company like ours this is an important investment aimed at quantitative and qualitative growth».»

It does not dream of being the biggest, nor the most expensive. And technologically up-to-date, but not to the point of astonishment. The novelty of the inauguration of the Cantrina winery's new cellar, in Cantrina di Bedizzole, is the large number of friends, winegrowers, restaurateurs and tour operators. Several hundred people attended the festive inauguration on Tuesday evening, more than the small winery could hold. The Garda wine industry has rallied around the new entrepreneurial initiative and Cristina Inganni with evident satisfaction for a growth in the area that, slowly, seems close to taking off. A take-off that relies on the quality on which Cantrina, in a small way, leveraged before others believed in it with a production, to tell the truth, far removed from the area's traditional one, but certainly full of aspirations to emerge. The new construction is a 420-square-metre wine cellar costing 300 thousand euros.

The Cantrina winery is a dream, shattered by tragedy, reborn in hope. Thanks to the strength and tenacity of Cristina Inganni, from interior decorator to wine expert. That beautiful old mansion overlooking the hills of the Valtènesi, surrounded by greenery, just a stone's throw from the old village and the 18th-century church, had appealed to Dario Dattoli, a Calabrian all-star, a revolutionary entrepreneur in the city's restaurant industry. It was a return to the land for him, there was a great passion for the vine, which has ancient history there. It was love. A love paid with his life, on a sad morning under the tractor, between the rows of vines, personally spreading pesticides despite working at the restaurant until late at night. A love bequeathed to Cristina together with the estate in the hamlet of Cantrina di Bedizzole. They had been together for a few years, married for one. And she? Away from Brescia, away from work, Dario's dream must continue. Dattoli had founded the Cantrina estate in ’90, in ’98 without him Cristina became one of the women of wine in the province of Brescia. And art?
