Cantina Cantina

But it was at our first meeting that they mentioned a little project just 20 minutes from Aosta. In the small community of the Canvenese, Cantina Cantina (who demurred on any notion of being mentioned by name) the team bought grapes from old vineyards of Barbera, Freisa, Bonarda, Neretto, Erbaluce, and some other Piedmontese varieties to make one white and one red under their banner. They had an unmarked bottle of the red bled in a liter bottle that I sipped for 2 days out in Orient, near the brewery. Of course it was completely fantastic, and was an expression of a part of the wine world I've known for many years, but with a fresh and transparent outlook we look for in all our wines, wherever they come from.

For us and Cantina Cantina, we hope that this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship, as they are casting their net very wine. They are talking to grape growers around the world, and even some friends of ours in Anjou ; ) "Think of a kind of Brutal labeling, but just a bit more hands on." Is what they told us. Sounds good to us. When good grapes are in good hands, we are happy. Cheers to our dear friends. Much fun to be had.

As we continue to grow our family, we couldn't be happier to announce a partnership with someone you may already know: Cantina Cantina. Cantina Cantina is a producer of natural wines as well as farmhouse and old world style ales and lagers you may be familiar with in the New York market. They make some amazing sparkling wines out on Long Island, as well as gypsy brewing at a few breweries out there. We've tasted a lot and have loved everything.
