Cork or Screwcap? That is the question

posted on 11 February 2015
I would like to have your opinion on the use of the screw cap, we are considering using it on our other wines after the happy experience with the Rosanoire 2013 e 2014. Our considerations are these:
  • better product retention and freshness
  • practicality and cost-effectiveness for users of the “screw-unscrew” opening certainly greater than for traditional closures
  • low environmental impact, recyclability of the cork and saving cork oak forests that have been depleted in recent years by uncontrolled decortication
  • drastic reduction of sulphites added at bottling for the benefit of the integrity and respect of the wine and the health of consumers
  • end of all those annoying organoleptic alterations due in some way to corks
Your opinion on this is very much appreciated, as we would possibly intend to deploy it soon on the Valtènesi 2014 e Rinè 2014... Technically there would be no problem, indeed, but what do you think? Email us at info@cantrina.it.

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.
