About this wine

Ageing

The wine matures in stainless-steel tanks and oak barrels.

Label / history

Cavit was founded in 1950 as a cooperative group of Trentino winemakers. Based in northeastern Italy, it supports almost 4,500 small wineries. Its members’ combined vineyard holdings cover 7,000 hectares, and the group produces 65% of Trentino’s wine each year.
