Unexpected visit Cantrina

Una visita inaspettata

posted on 27 April 2016
Sometimes strange cases occur when a small group of Mexican winegrowers, on holiday in Italy and therefore on Lake Garda, come to your winery for a short visit and this becomes an opportunity for a valuable cultural exchange. As chance would have it, the wives of these wine producers, from the Guadalupe Valley - Baja California, wanted to get to know the winery of a female producer, to see if there is indeed a female version of the wine world. As you can see from the photograph, the men were certainly more interested in the technical side and cultivation practices than in the let's say philosophical side, and Diego was invaluable as always... thank you partner. It was certainly a very pleasant and stimulating Saturday afternoon for both parties, and a heartfelt thank you goes to Angelo Dalbon, to whom we owe this fine initiative. Cristina

Harvest 2019

Harvest Cantrina 2019
Autumn has FINALLY arrived. The long and hot Summer 2019, which lasted till October, is now behind us.  Now, the weather is inviting us to stay a bit in the house (or in the cellar) and is helping us to think straight…. That past season was, here in our area, one of the strangest and most complicated within recent memory. We found ourselves having to face conditions that were simultaneously both extreme and contradictory. The cold and rains during flowering caused a reduction in the potential crop, and two hailstorms in June and early August caused even worse damage, since they actually halved the crop.

Twenty-year Cantina
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.
