The Bagoss, the Heretic and the Hamburger - Paperogiallo.net

Stefano Bonilli in his blog recounts a dinner at Villa Fiordaliso where he tasted Eretico: here are the most important points: (...) The other evening at dinner by the lake, a warm and pleasant evening, so much so that we were eating outside, some Bagoss and a bottle of Eretico from the Cantrina winery arrived on the table. It is a pinot noir raisin wine... ugh, a pinot noir raisin wine? But yes, a wine, pinot noir, which certainly doesn't have the image of a raisin wine and which makes a great impression because you expect it to be sweet, but instead... it has residual sugar, no doubt about it, but it is really a great wine-wine with a dark violet colour that will be even better as it matures. The Villa Fiordaliso sommelier, a good man, who chooses his wines one by one and knows how to tell without tediousness, brought out the Eretico to take us on unusual journeys and he really nailed it.

Obviously we were not there for the Heretic but for the cuisine of Riccardo Camanini, who of Villa Fiordaliso has been the cook for 12 years. (...)

About Wine - My Wine Professional

Her first love was art, then, to continue her husband's work, she dedicated herself completely to wine. My two little brats, Lorenzo and Tommaso, move naturally into this world, they grow into it. The way I got into it, on the other hand, is very different». First the Academy of Fine Arts, then a diploma as set designer: Cristina Inganni's first love was art, that for wine only came later. «My first husband, Dario Dattoli, had founded this winery in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It was he who initiated me into this world». Although she began to approach wine by marriage, Cristina continued to work in the artistic field, as an interior decorator, until, in 1998, her life received a sudden jolt. «My husband passed away suddenly during the summer, just before the grape harvest,» Cristina recalls.

posted on 10 November 2006
Garda Classico has been selected as one of the “Extreme Wines” of the Merano Wine Festival: the event, dedicated to the top national production, staged from tomorrow to Monday 13 November in the Kurkhaus, has included the Cantrina di Bedizzole winery (the only Brescian one) among the companies included in the section ’wines produced under extreme conditions in terms of altitude, climate, soil and vinification. Cantrina, however, will not be the only one to represent the Province in the “Top Selected“ section that, according to the Wine Festival's strict criteria, brings together the best of the national wine scene. Lombardy is represented by six wineries, five of which are Brescian, namely the Franciacorta Bellavista, Cà dl Bosco, il Mosnel, Monte Rosa, as well as Cà dei Frati representing Lugana.

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.
