Lake Garda, with Cantrina, again on the Merlot podium - Brescian Wines and Cuisine

Vini e Cucina Bresciana publishes an article about Azienda Agricola Cantrina winning Best Merlot in Italy, here are the highlights: (...) Second participation and second victory: the Nepomuceno of Cantrina, a small winery run by Cristina Inganni with her husband Diego Lavo in Bedizzole, in the Brescian hinterland of Lake Garda, once again asserts itself in the competition of Italy's greatest Merlots. With the success obtained with the Benaco Bresciano Nepomuceno 2003 at the fifth edition of the national exhibition of the Merlot d'Italia of Aldeno, in the Province of Trento,Cantrina has repeated the prestigious result already obtained two years ago with the 2001 vintage, imposing itself in the category of Merlot Igt of the vintages prior to 2005. (...) (...) The new vintages being matured in the Bedizzole cellar are now destined to mark a turning point in the interpretation of Garda Merlot: “Since we do not lack concentration and expressive power,” emphasises Cristina Inganni, "since 2004 we have been following the path of further growth in the characteristics of elegance and balance, putting muscularity in second place in favour of finesse and the representation of the terroir of origin, the true element that makes a wine unique and unrepeatable.

Cantrina a mini Burgundy - Giornale di Brescia

posted on 25 October 2005
When it was founded in the 1990s, it wanted to be a little corner of the beloved (and envied) Bourgogne stolen from the French and transplanted to the Bedizzole countryside. ’Mission impossible«, those in the know will say, wrinkling their noses. And yet the results of this unusual, tiny Garda winery are all there to be tasted, swirling the glass to soften the aggression of the tannins. The plenty of sunshine that favours Cantrina di Bedizzole and the consequent narrow temperature range, the low altitude, do not prevent the wines of the Cantrina winery from making a splendid impression. Merit perhaps goes to the »vine by vine, bunch by bunch« care given to the vines and a vinification done substantially »by hand« in the tiny cellar that borders the living room of the house. Thus we happen to taste a Pinot Noir in purity with an imposing structure and very typical character (it is called Corteccio), no less surprising is the white Riné (like the hills behind the winery) that overflows with scents of fruit and vanilla.

The Right Match - The Arena of Verona

With a high fat content, there is a need for an important wine. Oh, God, every rule has its exceptions (and in this case we suggest to transgressors a well-structured white) but personally we prefer a mature, harmonious red wine with good structure. Since every like loves its like, if the tripe is Florentine, accompany it with a Tuscan wine, Chianti DOCG; Barco Reale Carmignano DOC; excellent Pinot Noir Villa Bagnolo by Marchesi Pancrazi and Birbone by Fattoria Barbi di Montalcino. (...) Busecca Milanese goes well with an Oltrepò Pavese sangue di Giuda and, to top it all off, one of the best Merlots in Italy, NEPOMUCENO 2001 from Cantrina di Bedizzole in the province of Brescia.

Cantrina, target doubling - Brescia Oggi

The «little» Cantrina wants to grow and become big: the first step could only be the construction of a new wine cellar, which the Bedizzole farm - run by Cristina Inganni and Diego Lavo - officially inaugurated a year and a half after the start of work with a packed wine and food event for the media, restaurateurs and insiders. (...) Cantrina believes in it, having invested 300,000 euro in a technologically advanced 420 m2 ’ecostructure«, which, in order to take advantage of the drop production process, was completely buried and subsequently covered by a replanted vineyard. »One of the main objectives was to reduce the environmental impact to a minimum,« said Cristina Inganni, although, of course, for a small company like ours this is an important investment aimed at quantitative and qualitative growth».»
