At the winegrowers' market, one has the opportunity to get to know even the smallest and almost unknown wine producer...

On Saturday 30 November and Sunday 1 December, the third edition of the Independent Winegrowers' Market (FIVI). The impression is that the number of producers present has increased, as has the number of visitors. For us, it is not so much important to participate in order to make a sale for its own sake, but to strengthen the spirit of belonging to the association. The spirit that animates us is mutual solidarity and unity of purpose in order to protect our rights as winegrowers with the “higher” institutions, without intermediaries or “puppets” who often have no knowledge of our problems in the sector! The Wine Market is a common moment for us producers to meet and compare notes, and for visitors it can be a great and valid alternative for getting to know and experience this world, thanks to direct contact with the producer, without intermediaries and in a much more informal way than other events in the sector. And why not? It can also be a valid alternative to the now prohibitively busy and chaotic Vinitaly!!!

Here we go again: cut the weeds, sucker, select and thin the buds, train the shoots on the wires… The season hasn’t even started yet and we’re already behind with our work in the vineyards, and from here until harvest we’ll be running back and forth to keep the vineyards in good condition.

Here I am back from Prowein, and this year simply confirms my opinion from the first year I participated, that it’s a thoroughly professional event, and very useful to wine professionals. Yes, there’s a lot of activity in the halls, but it’s quite calm and serious, and one doesn’t get over-tired.

Still in cork, but in the future… who knows?

Thank you very much for participating in our survey. All of your opinions were valuable to us, and we would like to report to you what we have decided regarding screwcaps for our Valtènesi (Groppello) and Riné. In spite of the strong preference by sector professionals in favour of screwcaps, we realize that it is still premature for Cantrina to utilise screwcaps for the larger part of our wines.
