NV Cavit - Pinot Grigio MAGNUM (1.5L)

Cavit’s story began in 1950, when a group of grape growers in Trentino joined together to better promote the region’s traditional wines. The name stands for Cantina Viticoltori del Trentino, or “winery of the Trentino winegrowers.” Today Cavit is a cooperative of cooperatives, uniting eleven local wineries and more than 5,250 grower families who farm over 60 percent of the vineyard land in Trentino. Its headquarters in Ravina di Trento, first built in 1964, has grown into a modern 80,000 square meter facility, and Cavit has become one of the best-known names in Italian wine.

This Pinot Grigio comes from the Delle Venezie appellation, which covers the foothills of the Alps across Trentino, Veneto, and Friuli-Venezia Giulia in northeastern Italy. Cool mountain air from the Dolomites helps keep the grapes fresh and bright. After careful selection, the grapes are fermented cold in temperature-controlled tanks, which protects the wine’s natural fruit and crisp character. The wine sees no oak and is vegan-friendly.

Pale straw gold in the glass, it opens with floral notes of honeysuckle and orange blossom, plus green apple, pear, and a squeeze of lemon. The palate is dry, light, and refreshing, with a hint of white peach and a clean, crisp finish. Serve it as an aperitif or with seafood risotto, chicken, or pasta in cream sauce.
