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.

We miss you

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.
