Cristina and Cantrina, the beauties of Valtènesi - Occidente Gardesano

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.”

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.
