Hello, my name is Cristina Bassi. I was born in Zurich in 1976 under the sign of Pisces. People describe me as a "force of nature," but honestly, I just feel like an enthusiastic, spontaneous, and sunny person. Teaching has always been my passion: first as a school teacher, then as an ice skating instructor, and finally as a personal trainer in the postural field. I love sharing all my knowledge about movement and especially enjoy going into detail to improve the quality of movement. In addition to the years spent as an ice skater, where fluidity is important for a good performance, classical dance has provided me with the knowledge of body control and movement precision starting from the feet, a part often neglected. During my competitive years on ice, I worked with two Mental Coaches who taught me to focus on goals through meditations and exercises that promote concentration and breathing (AlphaTraining and later MentalTraining). The profession of a school teacher fascinated me greatly, but I cannot deny that I missed the aspect of movement, that aspect of sport that remains a true school of life. One day, I came across a brochure about the Pilates method: everything sounded so familiar that I enrolled in the pre-Pilates course called "Mat4me" (2003) at the CovaTech Pilates school of Anna Maria Cova in Milan. Enthusiastic about having found my path, I took part in the teacher training course during the summer of 2004 and graduated as a Pilates Teacher Covatech. In 2006, I became a mother and continued my journey by deepening the topic of "Core" (center of gravity) at the postural school StarEducation in Zurich. After obtaining the basic diploma as an Antara Teacher in 2011, I continued my training with other related courses, including Antara pre and post-natal (synergistic work of the deep muscles such as the transverse abdominals, multifidus, diaphragm, and pelvic floor). Over the years, I understood the importance of cardiovascular activity: cardio is an important part of physical and mental health. I wanted training that aligned with the postural foundations I had learned so far; so I took part in the CardioCoach course at the same postural school, completing my training in 2018. Today, I feel I can offer my students quality: having personally experienced the principles I teach today is very different from learning the notions from books or during training; personal experience becomes an integral part of you, and experiences allow you to transmit knowledge in the most natural and direct way possible, without filters. This is the difference. "The important thing is not what you do, but how you do it." Joseph Hubertus Pilates Thank you, Universe

THE BIRTH OF CANTINA BÖSCIORO Cantina Böscioro was founded in 1992 by Vosti Enos and Gabriela with the construction of the cellar in Gerra-Piano. The name Böscioro comes from the dialect of the chimney sweep of Vogorno and means wine. At first, it was a secondary activity, but over time, with much passion and dedication, the company grew, increasing both grape and wine production. In 2008, a second, larger cellar was built, still in Gerra-Piano. Our Services Cantina Böscioro offers numerous services related to the world of viticulture and oenology. Wine Sales Retail and B2B sales of our finest wines. Consulting Service We offer personalized consulting for your needs. Wine Vinification for Third Parties We provide a service for third-party grape vinification. Grape Sales A portion of the grapes is vinified, the rest sold to other wineries. REQUEST A QUOTE A NEW ERA FOR CANTINA BÖSCIORO In 2004, Enos and his son Sandro, who had just completed his studies at the specialized school of Changins as a winemaker and oenologist, took the big step, dedicating themselves 100% to the winemaking business. The cellar has seen steady growth over the years, and in 2023, the baton was passed to son Sandro, still with the help of the whole family. Today, the cellar produces high-quality wines that reflect the commitment and passion of the Böscioro family for viticulture. THE PRIVILEGED POSITION OF CANTINA BÖSCIORO'S VINEYARDS Cantina Böscioro, located in the Ticino region of Italian-speaking Switzerland, owns several parcels of vineyard land distributed throughout the surrounding area, including those located in the Gerra Piano area, where the cellar is located. The geographical location of the region, with its Mediterranean climate and exposure to the sun, offers optimal conditions for grape cultivation and the production of high-quality wines. In particular, the vineyards are located in hilly areas between Gordola and Gudo, where they benefit from excellent sun exposure that allows for high-quality grapes. Part of the vineyards are partially mechanized with small tools, while another part is located in the plains in Quartino, where another grape variety is cultivated. All this contributes to ensuring the excellence of the wines produced by Cantina Böscioro. PRODUCTION OF HIGH-QUALITY WINES AND ATTENTION TO GRAPE SELECTION Cantina Böscioro is a company dedicated to the production of high-quality wines, carefully selecting the grapes grown in its own vineyards. After harvesting, the grapes are brought to the cellar and carefully selected to produce different qualities of wine, including whites, rosés, and reds. In total, approximately 10,000 bottles of wine are produced each year. CONTACT US
