Cantrina Groppello 750ml

Lombardy, Italy | 90% Groppello Gentile, 10% Groppello di Mocasina | 13% ABV | Certified Organic

From the sun-warmed, wind-kissed morainic hills of Lake Garda’s southwestern shore, this expressive red from Azienda Agricola Cantrina captures the vibrant soul of Groppello, a grape found almost nowhere else. The fluvio-glacial soils—rich in clay, silt, and gravel—alongside the region’s moderated microclimate, create the perfect setting for a wine that’s both grounded and lifted, rustic and refined.

Bright ruby in the glass, it offers an energetic bouquet of wild red berries, sour cherries, and cracked pepper, with subtle herbal and spicy nuances adding intrigue. On the palate, it’s fresh, tangy, and fruit-driven, with juicy red fruit and a savory undertone that speaks directly of its lakeside terroir. The acidity is vibrant yet balanced, making it a flexible food wine, while the finish is clean, spiced, and delightfully persistent.

Fermented at low temperatures after cold maceration, then aged for several months in stainless steel, this is Groppello at its purest—lively, delicate, and honest.

Pair with: grilled trout, herbed pork, marinated vegetables, or risotto with mushrooms. A wine that thrives in the moment but hints at elegance beyond its simplicity.

Old World charm. Organically farmed. Technically sealed. Entirely unforgettable.
