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).

The Mediterranean flavours of Lower Garda

(...) Groppello, a red wine for fish and aperitifs. Cristina Inganni never imagined that she would become a winemaker while attending the Brera Academy in Milan, nor that she would come to live in Cantrina, a small hamlet in the municipality of Bedizzole whose profile dominates the vineyards. She did so to carry on the dream of her first husband, who died prematurely, who had planted the first vines (now nine hectares) of the Azienda Agricola Cantrina, inspired by French production and maintaining a radical idea of absolute quality. Cristina carries it on today together with Diego Lavo, her partner and second husband. Their Riviera del Garda Classico Groppello DOC (13 €) is a wine that enhances the terroir: gentle and sinuous, it is also appreciated with fish. In summer it becomes a cool aperitif.

Valtènesi and Benaco Bresciano - Cantrina It is wonderful to arrive at the winery during the grape harvest. The green leaves, the full bunches of grapes, the vineyards covered in herbs and the warm summer sun. I met Cristina, the owner of Azienda Agricola Cantrina, who guided me through a tasting of all her wines. It was an incredible experience, not only for the territory, but also to get to know the personality of Cantrina.

Cantrina defies duties and strengthens in the US

Manhattan and Boston toast with Cantrina's signature Valtènesi: the Bedizzole winery recently signed an agreement that brought its share of US sales to 60% of total business 2024 exports. We have re-established contact with an importer we have known for 25 years, but who has changed strategy by concentrating on very small companies able to offer products from indigenous grape varieties.
