Enjoy your meal!

Combine more than a half-century of winemaking expertise, the dramatic landscape and terroir of northern Italy, and a profound enjoyment of the good things in life. The result: Cavit wines, a wide range of wines that perfectly express the most representative local and international varieties of the territory, appreciated all over the world. The Cavit winery is located in Trentino, Italy, a picturesque landscape of mountains, lakes, apple orchards, and medieval castles. Vineyards in this region enjoy the warming effects of the “Ora del Garda,” a dry, balmy breeze that sweeps across nearby Lake Garda and protects the fruit from moisture and disease. Contrastingly cool evenings promote rich, intense aromas and flavors in the grapes. Cavit swept onto the radar of international wine lovers in the 1970s as a pioneer of a then little-known white wine called Pinot Grigio. Prized for its crisp, elegant character, fruit flavors, and delicate floral aroma, Pinot Grigio is a demanding grape to cultivate, but has flourished in northern Italy for over a century. Cavit has consistently championed this varietal, earning its well-deserved title of America’s #1 Italian Pinot Grigio.
