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. (...) (...= Three Happy Faces Eretico 2003 - Cantrina - Bedizzole (Brescia) Angelo Peretti 8 September 2007 angelo_peretti@tin.it // opinion in this report is related to the type of wine and rests primarily on the pleasantness of the bottle. The judgement is given in sms-style smiley faces. - one smiley face is for a wine of correct and pleasant drinkability - two facets for a wine of fine pleasure - three facets for satisfying wines, the highest points of the respective types.

Cantrina a mini Burgundy - Giornale di Brescia

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».»
