The Bagoss, the Heretic and the Hamburger - Paperogiallo.net

The other night at dinner by the lake, a warm and pleasant evening, so much so that we ate outside, some Bagoss and a bottle of Eretico from the Cantrina winery arrived on the table. It is a pinot noir raisin wine... ugh, a pinot noir raisin wine? But yes, a wine, pinot noir, which certainly doesn't have the image of a raisin wine and which makes a great impression because you expect it to be sweet, but instead... it has residual sugar, no doubt about it, but it is really a great wine-wine with a dark violet colour that will be even better as it matures. The Villa Fiordaliso sommelier, a good man, who chooses his wines one by one and knows how to tell without tediousness, brought out the Eretico to take us on unusual journeys and he really nailed it.

Cantrina, the village of Valtenesi, gives its name to the winery where Cristina Inganni and Diego Lavo work in the vineyard and cellar, 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.
Cantrina (www.cantrina.it) is dedicated to the production of medium to long ageing wines, mostly breaking away from the production specifications of local DOC wines to obtain greater freedom of action on cellar choices, which also vary according to the vintage. The only exception is the recently introduced Groppello, a fair homage to the area's typical grape variety.
