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

posted on 25 February 2015
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. Most of our customers view Cantrina, in fact, as a winery that produces niche wines, with a limited, but very high-quality portfolio. Despite all of the advantages represented by an alternative closure, as opposed to cork, according to the most widespread way of thinking, for a wine that is considered high quality, and especially for those of very limited production, natural cork is a more appropriate closure. So for Riné 2014 and Groppello 2014 we will continue to use the classic cork closures, … but who knows what the future will bring? For our Rosanoire rosé, however, we are quite happy to use the screwcap! Again, many thanks for your invaluable help! Cristina and Diego

ProWein: the first day has passed

posted on 24 March 2014
Between the desperate search for an internet connection and the curiosity of a completely new trade fair for us, the first day of ProWein passed. I have avoided following the fashion of the moment, so no selfie, in the photo you can see the layout of the Merum stand where we are placed.

Nepomuk Thursday

posted on 21 March 2014
Nella fretta della partenza e nell’affastellarsi di scadenze e impegni, una sorpresa positiva fa proprio bene. Ieri La Stampa ha pubblicato un articolo di Paolo Massobrio dedicato a noi, ma soprattutto al Nepomuceno, che per anni è stato il vino “di punta” di Cantrina. “Nepomuceno è un vino perfetto”: sentirlo dire è proprio bello, perché la perfezione è il risultato di tanto lavoro e passione e anche del crederci. Ora mi preparo per Prowein, dove porto anche il “rustico” Groppello e vi lascio alla lettura dell’articolo.

I recently concluded my experience as Lombardy Delegate of the National Association Le Donne del Vino and I feel like sharing with you some thoughts on what it means to make a commitment to association when you have direct responsibility in a company like Cantrina.
