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. (...)

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.

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.
