The Cantine Balita project started in 2012 with a simple goal: to produce quality wines of international standard in Bali’s tropical climate. Our mission is to produce Balinese wines that can challenge global brand.
Cantine Balita is a Balinese boutique winery that specializes in growing high-quality grapes, by combining Italian viticulture knowledge with Balinese agricultural traditions.
Cantine in Italian means wine cellars, where wine is stored and aged.
Balita stands for Bali and Italy, and the close partnership we have formed with this project.
Isola means island in Italian.
Our winemaking heritage stems from the Italian island of Sicily. Bali and Sicily share fundamental similarities for winemaking, such as the volcanic soil and hot climates. Both are exceptional islands with great history and tradition; therefore, we decided to name our wine Isola.
By merging Italian viticulture knowledge with traditional Balinese agriculture, we made it possible to produce high-quality wines in Bali that match famous international wine labels.
We are proud that we can now say we have raised the standard of Balinese wines and have put Bali and Indonesia on the world map of winemaking.
Together with our local farmers, and winery team, we have created a product of the highest international standard about which every Indonesian can be proud to say, produced, and bottled in Bali.
