Gorgonzola is unique - Spirito diVino

(...) Il Sole di Dario Vdt 2007 | Azienda Agricola Cantrina di Cristina Inganni, Bedizzole (Brescia) | www.cantrina.it/en/ A highly 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. The prevailing aromas of white fruit (apricot, pear, apple) are supported by fresh menthol and herbal notes (sage). On the palate, the sweetness is solidly supported by the acid thrust; after a very long aromatic lingering, it leaves the mouth in surplace and freshness. The best of the wines tasted. (...)

Free Exercise in Style - Environment Europe

posted on 12 March 2009
Cantrina is a small hamlet in the Valtènesi valley that gives its name to the small winery 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 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. (...)

Cristina Inganni - Lands

posted on 1 March 2009
THE STYLE OF AN ENTREPRENEUR IN THE WINE INDUSTRY, WHO DOES NOT FOLLOW THE RULES OF THE MARKET, BUT PRODUCES WHAT SHE LIKES BEST, RELYING ON HER OWN ABILITIES. It is easy to fall into banality or rhetoric. A woman entrepreneur, a woman who “makes” wine, and give rise to a whole series of clichés, even if ennobled by the best of intentions. The antidote, however, is just as easy to find: it is enough to listen to Cristina Inganni as she talks about her projects, so that one focuses on the substance, forgetting formalism. In a phase of Italian viticulture in which the search for indigenous grape varieties is almost exploding, her choices seem, at first glance, to go against the tide: she achieves great results with Sauvignon, Semillon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Riesling ... But the answer is immediate: “In my opinion, it is easier to identify the “terroir”, the identity of the territory, in international vines,“ as happens with people who come from distant countries to places that, little by little, transform them, adding, modifying traits and ways until they become something unique, hybrids charged with a singular charm. And consideration does not clash with typicality, indeed “native vines are a heritage, a heritage to be protected”, but it is from confrontation, from the plurality of choices that we can enrich the world of wine.

Proudly Italian Bordeaux - Giornale di Brescia

posted on 29 November 2008
And the Brescians? Few but they were there and they did not disfigure at all. The rather scattered presentation of wines did not allow us to find them all. Presenting their products, however, were Cristina Inganni with her award-winning Nepomuceno and Giovanna Prandini with the brand new Leonatus. Both are pure Merlot. Fratelli Berlucchi, represented by oenologist Casare Ferrari, was there with Casa delle colonne (where the Cabernet is only Franc), but next to it we found a Deressi from Majolini that has boundless elegance and a Nero d'Ombra from Mirabella that is just as elegant, but far too austere. The wineries produce very little of it and therefore speak little of it. A little more is Barone Pizzini's San Carlo while again very little is San Giovanni's Cabernet Montezalto.
