Le Donne del Vino Association: one year as Lombardy Delegate

posted on 16 March 2014
I recently concluded my experience as Lombardy Delegate of the National Association Le Donne del Vino and I would like to share with you some thoughts on what it means to make a commitment to association when you have direct responsibility in a company like Cantrina. 2013 was a year full of initiatives for the Regional Delegation: we took part in the 50th anniversary celebration of Coin in Milan by offering our products for tasting, we attended Italia in Rosa in Moniga del Garda, we managed to organise very quickly the wonderful 25th anniversary party for the Lombardy Delegation, and on this occasion we helped an important non-profit organisation and found an important partnership that will be repeated for future events. We produced the folder representing our region and members, opened the Facebook page... and I am certainly forgetting something. What have I realised after one year? Association commitment can really give a lot, but there are times when a producer feels the need to dedicate himself completely to his mission. I will certainly still be supportive of the new Delegate, but many commitments are coming up, such as Cantrina's presence at Prowein.

Cork or Screwcap? That is the question

I would like to solicit your opinion regarding use of screwcaps. As a consequence of the positive results with our Rosanoire 2013 and 2014, we are evaluating the possibility of using it on our other wines.

Class 64 in tasting

posted on 5 January 2015
On Sunday evening (28/12/14) I attended the Bordeaux tasting, which has now become a classic end-of-year event that Angelo Peretti organises for just a few lucky friends at the Taverna Kus in San Zeno di Montagna. In my opinion it is the best way to celebrate the end of one year and the arrival of a new one. On stage this year are 12 wines from the 1964 vintage (they are fifty years old, you guessed it) and it is always very exciting to approach these wines and discover that fascination is often an emotion that knows no age...

In Nuremburg with K&U Hausmesse 2014 – Wein radikal anders

posted on 27 November 2014
Gorgeous, wonderful tasting organised by K&U, by Martin Kossler, Dunja Ulbricht and their team. They’re a modest-sized importer in Nuremburg, very special persons, all of them, and they simply exude that spirit, in their remarkably-warm hospitality and generosity, and in every perfect organizational detail of this event that runs for two days every year.
