Inganni (Cantrina): it makes sense to be here as a consortium - Giornale di Brescia

For the second year, the Cantrina winery from Bedizzole is taking part in Vinitaly as part of the Valtènesi consortium stand, this time shared with Lugana. (...) Cantrina produces 35,000 bottles a year and cultivates six hectares of its own land plus two leased hectares. The company exports 30% of its production, but aims to grow further across the border. “That is why we participated in the Prowein trade fair in Düsseldorf, a fundamental opportunity to make ourselves known on foreign markets”.

Cantrina: outpost of tradition - Brescia Oggi

posted on 16 February 2005
Agricola Cantrina is the small outpost of Cristina Inganni and Diego Lavo, a woman of wine with a natural inclination towards art, who has decided to bet on a production policy made up of small numbers, great qualitative ambitions, and particularly significant choices such as that of renouncing, starting with the bottling of the 2004 production, the Garda DOC in favour of the Benaco Bresciano Typical Geographical Indication. «It is a decision that stems from the desire to link our production in depth to the territory, betting on a denomination that is the exclusive property of the area," explains Cristina, summarising the philosophy of a company that has always been reluctant to follow the traditional production guidelines of the area. Founded in 1990 by Dario Dattoli, a well-known Brescian restaurateur and winemaker by passion, the winery was conceived from the outset as a small centre for experimentation and the production of well-structured red wines. With the untimely death of the owner in 1998, his wife Cristina Inganni, a graduate of the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, a career that began as a set designer and interior decorator, decided to continue the singular oenological adventure, thanks also to her meeting with the agrarian expert, Diego Lavo: an encounter that not only resulted in marriage in 2000, but also opened a new chapter in the history of Cantrina.
