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.

Cantrina di Bedizzole in the front row at the debutante ball at Vinitaly - Giornale di Brescia

(...) He made us taste a wine called Eretico on the day of the Pope's funeral, but any less than pious intention must be firmly denied. Eretico adheres to the rules of oenology and is a Pinot Noir passito produced as a trial in that incredible year for heat and drought that was 2003. The experiment is intriguing and the result even more so. To be tried again. Proposing the Eretico wine is the Cantrina winery, which is making its debut at Vinitaly in a new, aggressive, communicative guise. The product, for those who could find Cantrina di Bedizzole, was already there. Cristina Inganni gloats about her new role and the new attention, which took the form of interested business contacts at Vinitaly. (...)

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.
