Description
In the Middle Ages farmers invented a technique to control the growth of the vines and create orderly rows by tying the young plants to a rigid support. This gave rise to the expression “Cum Vineis Sclavis”, literally “Enslaved Vines”, later “Schiava” (Slave). Because of these origins, Schiava is recognised as one of the oldest cultivated vines in Trentino and now Cavit goes back to vinifying it as a red wine, in keeping with tradition.

The image that best represents Cavit, a large co-operative composed of a large number of small wineries, is that of the vine that produces healthy grapes only if the roots and the other parts of the plant all perform their roles properly.
Created in 1950 to meet the needs of the winegrowers in the area to offer the very best quality and market their wines in a modern way, today Cavit represents over 4,500 winegrowers who are members of 11 cellars and 65% of the wine production in Trentino (around 5,700 ha). Cavit harvests, examines and selects its raw materials from the best produce of the cooperative member cellars, which undergoes strict controls at every stage: from refining to bottling.
Cavit today is one of the major companies in the wine business, operating successfully at national and international level.The headquarters in Ravina, where the production and logistics facilities are also located, house the Wine Cellar, Sparkling Wine Cellar and Wine Shop. Cavit also owns Maso Toresella, used for corporate entertaining, on Lake Toblino.
