ABOUT THIS WINE
The Terrazze Della Luna Pinot Grigio is produced by Cavit, a cooperative founded in 1950 in Trentino, Italy. The wine's name, translating to 'terraces of the moon,' refers to the hillside vineyards from which the grapes are sourced. These vineyards are situated in Valle dell'Adige, characterized by ventilated and well-drained soils. Cavit's winemaking philosophy emphasizes that great wines originate in the vineyard, uniting numerous small growers and their generational knowledge. This particular Pinot Grigio is distinguished by its blend, incorporating 15% Chardonnay alongside the primary Pinot Grigio grapes, which contributes to its nuanced character. Cavit also prioritizes eco-sustainable farming practices in its vineyard management.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Terrazze Della Luna Pinot Grigio begins with pneumatic pressing of the grapes. Following this, the must undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks, maintained at controlled temperatures, typically around 20 degrees Celsius. This controlled environment is designed to preserve the wine's natural aromatics and freshness. The wine is then aged in stainless steel, a method that ensures the purity of the fruit flavors and the wine's crisp character. Cavit employs eco-sustainable farming practices, including the use of cover crops, sustainable pest control, natural fertilizers, and water-conserving irrigation systems.
