Additional Info:

WINEMAKING: As the various varieties ripen at different times, they are harvested and vinified separately, with great emphasis being placed on selection of the bunches before crushing.  Alcoholic fermentation is carried out in contact with the skins at a temperature of no higher than 26 °C, with a part of the berries being fermented whole to preserve and enhance their fruity aromas. A part of the must is stored chilled to prevent it from undergoing alcoholic fermentation and is then added to the blend to increase the sugar content.

Fabrizio Marinconz is the winemaker. Born and bred right in Trentino, it was only natural for Fabrizio to find a home at Cavit. He received his degree in Viticulture and Enology in 2005 from S. Michele all’Adige Agricultural Institute and Hochschule Geisenheim (Germany) before joining Cavit in late 2006 as vineyard technician. This early experience working every day with the Cavit winegrowers in the vineyards gave him an incredible base to build his career as a winemaker. In 2010, he was promoted to join the winemaking team alongside chief winemaker, Anselmo Martini, until his retirement in 2020. Fabrizio was then given the key position of Associate Winemaker and is proudly responsible for the production of all the Cavit still wines.
