Description

By following the TrentoDoc method scrupulously, this Pas Dosé was created, deeply linked to its territory of origin. Pas Dosé indicates a wine in which there was no "top up" with dosage syrup, preventing the possibility of correcting the wine. This characteristic makes it a particularly valuable type as it denotes the great mastery of Altemasi and the absolute quality of the grapes used.

From this winery
  • Start up year: 1950
  • Oenologist: Paolo Turra, Guido Mattiello, Fabrizio Marinconz, Andrea Faustini
  • Hectares: 6.350
Cavit is a company deeply rooted in the region to which it belongs: Trentino. A small area in the north-east of Italy where the vine, olive tree and Mediterranean-type vegetation live side by side with spruces and larches of the Alpine flora. A land of ancient traditions and culture, where the presence of man, with his villages, castles and cultivated terraces blends in harmoniously with the majestic Alpine landscapes.

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.
