Trip to the USA…

posted on 5 May 2017
After two years of working closely with Sussex Wine Merchants, I finally flew to New York to personally meet their team. I found them very accommodating and ultra-efficient, and they planned and helped me with every stop on my itinerary. Christopher and Elan took me to Manhattan, then to Moore Brothers' first wine shop in Brooklyn, then to the other Moore Brothers’ shops in New Jersey and Delaware, all equally impressive. And we ended up with Yves in Atlantic City. I want to warmly thank the entire staff of Moore Brothers for the wonderful hospitality they showed me in all their shops; I was so impressed by their extraordinary professionalism and by the great enthusiasm they show in communicating the world of wine and in introducing their producers’ wines. I truly appreciated how effectively and sincerely they represented and conveyed my own winemaking philosophy. Many thanks to Greg, Dave, and Frank for the great sensitivity and openness they showed me. I feel fortunate indeed to be part of Moore Brothers Wine Choice, together with my winemaking friends of Bele Casel, Paola and Luca

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)

20th Cantrina's anniversary

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.
