Exercise in Style - Golf for Passion

(...) 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 fitting tribute to the area's typical grape variety. Nepomuceno is the cellar's flagship wine: IGT Benaco bresciano Rosso is a Merlot-based wine characterised by the presence of small quantities of Marzemino and Robo, which derives its distinctiveness from the over-ripening “in the loft” of part of the selected grapes. Softness and velvety sensations in a wine that nevertheless has great character and structure, characteristics that best represent the expression of Cantrina's “Free Exercise in Style” production philosophy. Cristina explains: “free because I like to be creative, exercise because I call my wines exercises, style because everyone has their own”.

Donne del Vivo, Cristina Inganni is the new delegate in Lombardy - Brescia Oggi

Wine “Made in Lombardy”? It is increasingly declined in female terms. In the words of Cristina Inganni, owner of the Cantrina winery in Bedizzole, chosen in recent days as the new delegate of the regional section of the national «Women of Wine» movement. A LEADERSHIP that remains in Brescian hands, therefore, considering that the Garda producer has received the baton from the hands of Maddalena Bersi Serlini from Franciacorta.

From stage sets to barriques. The unique wines “designed” by Cristina - Corriere della Sera

The first steps saw interpreters not of local grapes but of international vines: merlot, pinot noir, chardonnay, semillon. With the terroir to make them unique, different from those produced elsewhere, and this obligatory choice, here as much an oxymoron as it is intriguing, will prove to be propaedeutic for the current evolution of Cantrina wines. Over the years, Nepomuceno, the winery's most awarded and best known product, will see rebo and marzemino grapes appear alongside merlot, playing more on elegance than on power.

Cantrina, the groppello made in Bedizzole has conquered the Big Apple - Giornale di Brescia

“Is it possible with just 30,000 bottles a year of wine born in Bedizzole, and what's more the Brescian but very unknown Groppello, to manage to slip into the Big Apple's most exclusive artistic circles? Cristina Inganni, who runs the Cantrina winery in Bedizzole with her husband Diego Lavo, says yes. On 4 March, in fact, in New York Cantrina was the sponsor of an event at Issue Project Room, a space totally dedicated to artists. The birthday of Elliott Sharp, composer and guitar virtuoso, was also celebrated in Brooklyn. On this occasion, actor Steve Buscemi was the host.”
