A Common Roof for Wineries
Eleven wineries, 6,350 hectares of vineyards, 5,250 winegrowers
There are a total of eleven wineries from Trentino that find room under
the roof of the Cavit consortium, which was founded in 1950. The area
covered by Cavit extends over no less than 6,350 hectares of grape growing areas, of which 5,250 are managed by winegrowing families.
But one thing is clear: the palette is extremely broad, but a couple
of pearls nevertheless stand out – first and foremost Vino Santo and
Spumante.
There were first of all a few cooperative wineries
that launched a consortium in 1950 in which forces were to be bundled
together and synergies exploited. It became a model of success which
additional wineries joined little by little. Today, Cavit guides
winegrowing in broad sections of Trentino.
The oenologist who takes responsibility for this is Anselmo Martini,
who is especially proud of the Cavit line “Maso”: “We developed this
line with the researchers at the San Michele Institute,” Martini says.
“They represent our top product – genuine crus that are tied to clearly
defined terroirs.”
Cavit has over a dozen varieties in the
line, and it thus reflects the entire breadth of the wine that is grown
in Trentino. To be emphasized as a particularity within that context is
the dessert wine Vino Santo Trentino DOC. The harvest
for it takes place for the most part late in October. In addition, the
Cavit consortium is renowned for its sparkling wines. The basis for
this is provided by the countless grape varieties that are classically
fermented in the bottle.
