Description

An elegant classic sparkling wine Riserva Millesimato that Cavit produces only with grapes from great vintages. Graal derives from medieval Latin with the meaning of vessel, this name gained notoriety in the cycle of King Arthur's novels because it was associated with the cup used by Jesus during the Last Supper.

Altemasi, one of the finest TRENTODOC wines, is a Classic Method sparkling wine made from grapes grown in the Trentino region of Italy. The tiny bubbles produced using Chardonnay and Pinot Nero grapes seem to give this wine its ability to draw out time itself.

Thanks to not less than 36 months in contact with the lees, this is one of the finest and most elegant sparkling wines in our range. From the award-winning Altemasi GRAAL Reserve to the fruity, delicious Rosé.
