✨ Technical Specifications
Lunetta, meaning 'Little Moon' in Italian, is a celebrated sparkling wine produced by Cavit, showcasing the vibrant heritage of Italy's Prosecco DOC. Sourced from the scenic foothills of the Veneto region, where cool breezes and mineral-rich soils nurture the traditional Glera grape, this sparkling wine is crafted using the Charmat method. This technique preserves the grape's natural aromatics, resulting in a bright, pale straw color with a persistent mousse. The name evokes the romantic, luminous glow of a crescent moon over the Italian vineyards, reflecting the wine's crisp, refreshing, and approachable character that has made Prosecco a global symbol of Italian 'dolce vita' and celebration.
🍾 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.
