About the producer

Cavit is one of Veneto's largest producers, known for clean, approachable wines that show the region's character without fuss.

About the year

Pinot Noir from Veneto drinks well young, within two to three years of the vintage, when its fresh fruit is at its brightest.

Grape characteristics

Pinot Noir is a thin-skinned grape that makes delicate wines. In cooler regions like Veneto, it shows red fruit and silky texture rather than weight.

About the region

Veneto's cool climate in northeastern Italy suits Pinot Noir well. The region's limestone soils and Alpine influence keep the wines fresh and elegant.

Tasting profile

Expect red cherry, strawberry and a touch of herb or spice. The wine is light and smooth, with acidity that keeps it lively on the palate.

Serving suggestions

Serve at 50 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit, slightly cooler than room temperature. A standard red wine glass works well. No decanting needed.
