Cavit

Producer Information

Cavit is a leading co-operative in the mountainous Trentino region of northeast Italy. The winery began as a consortium of associated grape growers in 1950, with a dedicated winery at Ravina di Trento built in 1964.

Today It unites 11 separate cellars and their combined 4,500 grape growers across 7,000 hectares of vineyard, to produce an impressively broad portfolio from an intriguing palette of indigenous and international grape varieties.

In 1993 Cantina Altemasi was established, also at Ravina, not far from the region`s capital of Trento - for the production and maturation of Classic Trentodoc and Charmat Method sparkling wines.

Wine Making

The Glera grape variety pre-dates Roman times. The grapes for Lunetta are sourced from the hills above Treviso, a traditional growing area for Prosecco. Hillsides with cool, loose soils are favourable. The grapes are harvested by hand in the second half of September. The second fermentation takes place by the Charmat method.

Tasting Note

Aromas of stone fuits, particularly peach, and also hints of apple. A crisp, light, and well-balanced wine with creamy mousse and delicate apple and pear characters.

Food Matching

The perfect aperitif or picnic wine!
