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

Spring is pressing on “full speed ahead”

Spring is pressing on “full speed ahead”, and the vineyard is rushing right along with it… The vines budded out quite vigorously this year, and helped by the warm temperatures of recent weeks, vine growth is running some two weeks ahead of norm.

Azienda Agricola Cantrina
If any of you visited us recently, you will have noticed on entering that a good part of the small vineyard growing at the entrance and covering the cellar was grubbed up. Was it because of the wrong rootstock, or maybe too many passes with the tractor compacted the soil, or the wrong grape variety for the soil, poor-quality vines, or…? As a matter of fact, a good part of the vines were in bad condition and even dead, so much so that we had to take them out.

German taste

posted on 20 November 2016
I’ve just returned from the annual K&U tasting days in Nuremberg; it is always a delight to be there as a wine producer. Martin, Chistopher, Dunia and their entire staff were fantastic, and there was the usual large group of customer-tasters. The most enjoyable part was being able to exchange opinions on wine with producer-friends from France, Austria and Germany, all in a relaxing context of laughter and enjoyment
