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”.

Il Sole di Dario Vdt 2007 | Azienda Agricola Cantrina di Cristina Inganni, Bedizzole (Brescia) | www.cantrina.it A very original blend of Sémillon, Sauvignon and Riesling (Dario Dattoli, the founder of Cantrina, to whom the wine was dedicated, wanted it that way) obtained from selected grapes, placed in boxes and left to dry for about three months. Low in alcohol (11°), it has a substantial residual sugar content (190 grams/litre) contrasted by considerable acidity. Thanks to these characteristics and the consistent aromatic content of the starting grapes, the wine plays on perfect balance, in the aromas as well as in the taste. The colour is golden yellow with amber hints.

Die kleine Welt der großen Gropello-Trauben Zu den wichtigsten Schätzen des Weinbaus im Valtènesi gehört die Groppello-Traube. Ihr Name ist auf das Bild eines Knotens “groppo”, den die Traubenbeeren bilden, zurückzuführen. Diese delikate und seltene Sorte wird nur noch auf dem etwa 400 Hektar großen Gebiet an der Westküste des Gardasees angebaut. “Mit seinen Varianten Groppello Gentile und Groppello di Mocasina, die jede für besondere Boden- und Mikroklima-Verhältnisse geeignet sind, ist der Groppello das prägende Element der DOC Valtènesi”, sind sich die Winzerkollegen Corrado Becchetti Binkert sowie Diego Lavo und Christina Inganni vom Weingut Cantrina einig.

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”.
