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.
The mountainous Trentino region produces some of Italy's most note-worthy Pinot Grigio. This multi-award winning Bottega Vinai is a benchmark of this expressive style.
Bottega Vinai Trentino Pinot Grigio wine has a lightly honeyed spicy nose with distinct floral, apple and citrus notes. Added complexity from white spice, green olive and almond characters. On the palate it shows nutty flavours balanced by crisp, lemony acidity. Good weight and texture through to the finish. An excellent wine with seafood risottos, baked fish and cold white meats.
