A day of bottling in Cantrina

posted on 15 July 2015
It was a long, hot and busy day: we bottled and packed more than 17,000 bottles - a record for our small company - between our own wines and those on consignment for other companies. Bottling is the last stage in the wine production process and is a very delicate moment, in which nothing must be left to chance, as months (and sometimes years) of waiting and work could be wasted by a simple lack or carelessness. We have, therefore, chosen to entrust ourselves to a specialist: with a lorry, he comes to us and provides us with a futuristic and complete bottling plant, all under our strict control and instruction. All that is left for us to do is to provide glass, caps, capsules, labels, personnel and... roll up our sleeves. Specifically in this round we bottled the NEPOMUCENE 2011 which will be the first to be released after the 2009 vintage, presumably next spring. As already anticipated on several occasions, the 2010 “Nepo” will not be bottled, due to a vintage that we considered not up to par for a wine of this importance. We also bottled the RINE’ 2014, of which, with great effort, we managed to increase production a little. In particular, we like the 2014 for its great freshness and aromatic finesse, certainly the result of a particularly cold vintage.

WHY THE SCREW CAP?

Right from the very start of our efforts as Winegrowers, we have firmly committed ourselves to producing high quality wine, and always with profound respect for the local terroir and overall environment in which we work.

Riné

posted on 21 March 2022
We’d like to talk to you a bit about our Riné. Although it has changed over the years, we conceived Cantrina’s white wine--our distinctive blend of Riesling and Chardonnay, and a bit of other white varieties we grow here in our estate vineyards--as one that would evolve and mature with cellaring, offering its best even many years after bottling. We noticed, though, in the few years, that we were often forced to sell Riné too soon, and thus offering our customers a wine that was still inexpressive and therefore not fully appreciated for what it really was.

Profumi di Mosto
We are joining the Profumi di Mosto 2020 edition on October, 11th. Cantrina's wines will be matched with Pietro Freddi's special pizzas, which will be prepared on the spot from his Pizza-Van. This edition will be a bridge between the just-ended summertime and 2021 events. Profumi di Mosto will also host twenty wineries, where rose wines and Valtènesi red wines will be protagonists.
