Uncorked Bottles - Internet Gourmet

We publish here the most important points of an article published by Internet Gourmet after a tasting of Azienda Agricola Cantrina's Eretico wine: (...) Heretic 2003 Cantrina Heretic, just heretic. When you tell people it's a pinot noir raisin wine, they shudder. Then they taste it and... It took Cristina Inganni's winemaking extremism to come up with such a wine. Which is the child of her vintage: a very hot 2003. And since they have quite a lot of pinot noir in Cantrina, a contradina in the extreme hinterland of Lake Garda in the Brescia area, and the grapes were over-ripe, Cristina decided to dare the unthinkable. And so, a red wine of absolute heresy was born. A single barrique. Then finished in a few small 0.375 barrels. It is a memorable wine, believe me. (...)

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.
