Vertical of Riné 2008-2015

posted on 17 November 2017
I had the pleasure, on 10-11 November, of visiting Antony e Sofie, my importers in Brussels. We had decided to personally visit all their customers, divided into three groups, and taste with them a vertical of Riné, vintages 2008 through 2015, the latter currently on the market. We found the years 2009 and 2012 came out the best, and those were the years, in fact, whose growing seasons gave us conditions that favoured the production of high-quality wines. We also found time to visit some restaurants, who already had Cantrina on their wine lists and appreciated our wines. Warm thanks to Antony and Sofie, for their trust in us and for organising the initiative. It is no easy task to find importers who appreciate niche producers, and who can communicate and sell these wines. It was a terrific experience. Cristina

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.

posted on 16 March 2014
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.
