Cantina_box_1The wine making kits in the Cantina 5-day series are produced from Italian quality grape juices. The supplies of grapes come from the northern Italian regions of Emilia and Tuscany.

With the help of a recently developed, highly specialized yeast/nutrient mix it is now possible to ferment a wine in 4 days only (the 5th is used for clearing) whilst still retaining most of the grape qualities.
