Cantrina is a small village in the Valtènesi valley that gives its name to the small farm 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 produce structured wines with good alcohol content, good minerality and high acidity.

About Wine - My Wine Professional

Her first love was art, then, to continue her husband's work, she dedicated herself completely to wine. My two little brats, Lorenzo and Tommaso, move naturally into this world, they grow into it. The way I got into it, on the other hand, is very different». First the Academy of Fine Arts, then a diploma as set designer: Cristina Inganni's first love was art, that for wine only came later. «My first husband, Dario Dattoli, had founded this winery in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It was he who initiated me into this world». Although she began to approach wine by marriage, Cristina continued to work in the artistic field, as an interior decorator, until, in 1998, her life received a sudden jolt. «My husband passed away suddenly during the summer, just before the grape harvest,» Cristina recalls.

Lombardy is represented by six wineries, five of which are Brescian, namely the Franciacorta Bellavista, Cà dl Bosco, il Mosnel, Monte Rosa, as well as Cà dei Frati representing Lugana.

Cantrina a mini Burgundy - Giornale di Brescia

posted on 25 October 2005
When it was founded in the 1990s, it wanted to be a little corner of the beloved (and envied) Bourgogne stolen from the French and transplanted to the Bedizzole countryside. ’Mission impossible«, those in the know will say, wrinkling their noses. And yet the results of this unusual, tiny Garda winery are all there to be tasted, swirling the glass to soften the aggression of the tannins. The plenty of sunshine that favours Cantrina di Bedizzole and the consequent narrow temperature range, the low altitude, do not prevent the wines of the Cantrina winery from making a splendid impression. Merit perhaps goes to the »vine by vine, bunch by bunch« care given to the vines and a vinification done substantially »by hand« in the tiny cellar that borders the living room of the house. Thus we happen to taste a Pinot Noir in purity with an imposing structure and very typical character (it is called Corteccio), no less surprising is the white Riné (like the hills behind the winery) that overflows with scents of fruit and vanilla.
