Cantrina - La dolce Italia according to the sommeliers
16 December 2019

La dolce Italia according to the sommeliers - Il Gazzettino

Qualcuno gioca in casa, come Manuele Meneghini, sommelier di Lido 84 a Gardone Riviera: «Il mio vino per le feste è Sole di Dario dell'azienda Cantrina, di Bedizzole in Valtènesi. E un blend di Sauvignon, Semillon e Riesling in cui i profumi di albicocca, dattero e agrumi si fondono alle note speziate, che creano la suggestione di un viaggio verso luoghi lontani e si elevano in un sorso di grande freschezza ed equilibrio gustativo. E un vino a cui sono particolarmente legato, che possiede per me il potere evocativo della tavola imbandita e del calore umano».

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.”

The Cantrina is a small winery, now run by Cristina together with another super-enthusiast, Diego Lavo: just under 6 hectares of land, on two plots, about 20,000 bottles produced, but tenacious work that has involved, with many trials and experiments, even reckless ones, something like 33,000 vine stocks, initially “favouring international varieties and now rediscovering, in part, some local vines”. An estate where trying new ways is standard practice, as the owner likes to remind us when she observes that “the wines convey the character of the territory of origin and of the people who make them; from these elements, thanks also to my past experiences linked to an artistic training, I wanted to give our wines an absolutely creative and consequently unique imprint.
