✨ Technical Specifications
Lunetta, meaning 'little moon' in Italian, is a celebratory sparkling rosé crafted by Cavit, a pioneering cooperative in northern Italy. Sourced from the scenic, sun-drenched vineyards of the Trentino and Veneto regions near the foothills of the Alps, this cuvée celebrates the region's rich history of sparkling winemaking. It is typically produced using the Charmat (Martinotti) method in state-of-the-art cellars to preserve its fresh, primary fruit character. The blend classically utilizes Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir) to impart its delicate pale pink hue and bright red fruit aromas, often complemented by Chardonnay or Glera. The result is a charming, dry sparkling wine that evokes the romance of a moonlit Italian evening, characterized by clean acidity and an elegant, persistent mousse.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1950, Cavit (Cantina Viticoltori del Trentino) is a premier second-tier cooperative consortium uniting 11 associated wineries and over 5,200 family growers across Trentino. Cultivating roughly 6,350 hectares—accounting for over 60 percent of the province's viticultural landscape—the consortium bridges artisanal vineyard care with cutting-edge agronomic precision. Cavit pioneered the proprietary PICA system (Piattaforma Integrata Cartografica Agriviticola) in partnership with the Edmund Mach Foundation, mapping micro-terroirs spanning high-altitude Alpine slopes, limestone terraces of Valle di Cembra, and warmer gravel soils moderated by the 'Ora del Garda' breeze. Operating under SQNPI sustainable certification, the group produces an extensive spectrum of pristine cool-climate wines. Its benchmark offerings range from accessible varietal stalwarts to terroir-focused cru selections like the Bordeaux-inspired Trentino Superiore 4 Vicariati Rosso and the celebrated Altemasi Metodo Classico Trentodoc sparkling wines, epitomizing the luminous purity and alpine acidity of northern Italy.
