Sing, Poem & Wine with Antonella Cantarutti!

This time I bring you to Friuli, with a wonderful woman producer, I want that people know about  Antonella Cantarutti and her terrific wines under the name of her company Cantarutti Alfieri in San Giovanni al Natisone (Udine), Friuli Venezia Giulia (Italy).
Antonella told us that to achieve the perfect wine serve different elements for the perfect composition like in music, the oenologist is the composer of these symphonies: the cuts, the woods of the barrels and the enormous care give all the details that are fundamental to the perfect success of the art of wine. These are all aspects that are very much in the heart of Antonella and with the collaboration with her husband Fabrizio, all is successfully completed. The company was born in the late 1960s. During this period the wine of Italy was born the quality of the wine on a bottle. The father, Mr. Alfieri Cantarutti, founded the company and left it to her daughter Who with her husband take care of her. The vineyards is located in the heart of the eastern hills of Friuli, an area magically touched by the "sea flavor". Ms Antonella has confided to us that the creation of "Song" and "Poem" are two dreams that have became truth and make it her feeling very proud and happy.  The bouquet of flavors of both are a hymn to life, femininity and the joy and both are winners and also winners of the SAKURA gold medal in Japan. Wines that you definitely needed on your cellar.
