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. Their site at Maso Toresella on the shores of Lake Toblino was the historic residence of the Prince Bishops of Trento, surrounded by 6.5 hectares of vineyard. It is one of the most significant 'masi' (rural estates) in the whole of Trentino.
Altemasi Graal Trento Riserva Spumante Brut sparkling wine is an extremely highly regarded, Chardonnay-dominated Italian sparkler, from Trento. Full and well-balanced with nut, ripe apple and honey notes. Wonderfully developed, nutty, leesy character on the nose with hints of caramel. The palate is rich, with buttery flavours, hints of croissant and a great texture, making for a very approachable sparkler. Enjoy as an aperitif, or with smoked salmon and rabbit terrine.
