Cantina Lavis

Cantina Lavis is an historical winery located at the heart of the Trentino subregion. Founded in 1850 by the Cembran family, it has been a cooperative since 1948.

Bright ruby red with a vivid purple hue in the glass. On the nose a bouquet of concentrated woodland fruit coupled with violet. Fruit forward on the palate, lots of blackberries and red urrant with a refined tannic structure. A balanced wine with a good finish.

Drink with polenta and mushrooms or steak tartar.

Cultivation happens in Rovereto and Mori at south-east and south-west exposure with an altitude of 240m ASL. The soil composition has alluvial sandy loam sediments. Vines are trained on Guyot and simple Trentino pergola at a density of 5,000 vines a hectare. Manual harvesting happens in early October, followed by fermentation at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation occurs in fiberglass reinforced concrete tanks as well as ageing on the lees for approximately 5/6 months. This is done partly in fiberglass reinforced concrete tanks and partly in barrels that have been used once before.
