About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Glera grapes are grown on fertile, flat land in the province of Treviso in northern Italy, where the climate is warm.

Vinification

The grapes are selected before undergoing 12 hours of skin contact at 8–10 °C. Fermentation follows the Charmat method for 15–24 days at 12–14 °C.

Serving and pairing

Intended to be enjoyed young, the wine can be served as an aperitif.

Label / history

Cavicchioli was founded in 1928, when grape grower and merchant Umberto Cavicchioli began making wine and converted his workshop into cellars. He worked with Lambrusco di Sorbara to produce wines including one that continues to be made and sold under the name “Tradizione.” The family’s winemaking experience has since passed from father to son across generations.
