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

posted on 2 December 2013
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!!!

Cantrina Farm
Spring has arrived in Cantrina and we are enjoying the awakening of nature in a strange and silent environment. Nature is not stopping but some of our activities are and we are working in the vineyard and in the cellar to prepare a bright coming back, as soon it will be sensible and possible. Italy is facing COVID-19 emergency and the whole country is locked down, but essential services, production and logistics are ensured. Gradually every country is implementing necessary measures and we hope you are coping with them without trouble. We want to tell you that we are fine and we are sure we will manage and overcome the emergency. We feel lucky to have the opportunity to spend the quarantine in such a wonderful place as Cantrina and we want to share it with you through some pictures, waiting for the time when it will be again possible to welcome you here and give you a hug.

Riné gains a screw cap

Cantrina - Riné screw cap
This coming March, the new 2018 vintage of Riné, its second vintage as a certified organic wine, will debut on the market under a screw cap for the first time, and so we want to talk a bit about this type of closure. We have been using this closure for some years now for Rosanoire, and since last year for our latest-born Valtènesi Chiaretto. We have found the results positive in terms of cellarability, soundness, and crispness, in particular over the medium- and long-term; our customers, often tired of opening wines that were tainted, have expressed full satisfaction.
