A memorable tasting in Trento - Civiltà del bere

Civiltà del Bere published an article describing the wine of Azienda Agricola Cantrina, here are the most important points: (...) From the volcanoes to the glacial moraine with Nepomuceno, Merlot IGT Benaco Bresciano 2003 from the Cantrina winery in Bedizzole (Brescia) where only international grape varieties are cultivated. Diego Lavo, owner with his wife Cristina Inganni, emphasised the importance of precisely this type of soil squeezed between fluvial and glacial deposits that characterises their Merlot. The vintage was perfect because an unexpected hailstorm in June had destroyed the 70% of grapes. This forced thinning, which we, lucidly, would never have had the courage to do, allowed the grapes to ripen excellently, rich in glycerine and alcohol. (...)

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».»

Garda celebrates compact - Giornale di Brescia

It does not dream of being the biggest, nor the most expensive. And technologically up-to-date, but not to the point of astonishment. The novelty of the inauguration of the Cantrina winery's new cellar, in Cantrina di Bedizzole, is the large number of friends, winegrowers, restaurateurs and tour operators. Several hundred people attended the festive inauguration on Tuesday evening, more than the small winery could hold. The Garda wine industry has rallied around the new entrepreneurial initiative and Cristina Inganni with evident satisfaction for a growth in the area that, slowly, seems close to taking off. A take-off that relies on the quality on which Cantrina, in a small way, leveraged before others believed in it with a production, to tell the truth, far removed from the area's traditional one, but certainly full of aspirations to emerge. The new construction is a 420-square-metre wine cellar costing 300 thousand euros.
