Vertical of Riné 2008-2015

posted on 17 November 2017
I had the pleasure, on 10-11 November, of visiting Antony e Sofie, my importers in Brussels. We had decided to personally visit all their customers, divided into three groups, and taste with them a vertical of Riné, vintages 2008 through 2015, the latter currently on the market. We found the years 2009 and 2012 came out the best, and those were the years, in fact, whose growing seasons gave us conditions that favoured the production of high-quality wines. We also found time to visit some restaurants, who already had Cantrina on their wine lists and appreciated our wines. Warm thanks to Antony and Sofie, for their trust in us and for organising the initiative. It is no easy task to find importers who appreciate niche producers, and who can communicate and sell these wines. It was a terrific experience. Cristina

Cantrina Ventennale
On 13 May, we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our winery with a vertical tasting showcasing the three wines that, from our founding to the present, have become iconic. We selected the vintages of each that are most representative of the evolution of the blends, production methods, and ageing. The years tasted are: - Riné (1999, 2002, 2005, 2008, 2013, 2017) - Nepomuceno (1999, 2001, 2005, 2007, 2011, 2015) - Sole di Dario (1999, 2001, 2006, 2009, 2012)

For it was in “long-ago” 1999, amidst countless apprehensions, much enthusiasm, and just a pinch of bravado, that we decided to launch “Project Cantrina.” It represented above all the long-time dream of founder Dario Dattoli, who since the early 1990s dedicated himself to producing just handful of bottles—but made with meticulous care!—for his own enjoyment in his numerous restaurants.
