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

On the evening of 28 December, I took part in a tasting organised in San Zeno di Montagna by my friend Angelo Peretti, a great and passionate connoisseur of wines, the protagonists being the 1960s Bordeaux, only Saint-Emilion.

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

On Saturday 30 November and Sunday 1 December, the third edition of the Independent Winegrowers' Market (FIVI) was held at the Piacenza Expo. The impression was that the number of producers present increased as did 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.
