Cavit 1997 Arèle Vino Santo Nosiola (Trentino)
- $47
This Vin Santo from Italy’s northern Trentino region is made with the little-known Nosiola grape and offers outstanding complexity and intensity of aromas. Almond skin, apricot, dried fruit, caramel, butterscotch and honey come forward layer after layer. This is a distinctive wine with round, opulent nuances and excellent length.

- $24
With more than eight years of careful aging since the harvest, this opulent sparkler boasts a unique balance between elegance and power. The aromas are feminine and floral but the mouthfeel is intense and persistent with lingering tones of caramel and yellow rose.

Cavit 1995 Arèle Vin Santo White (Trentino)

A brilliant amber vin santo from the northern Trentino region with 10 years of age (six in oak) that flaunts toasted biscuits, rich nutty notes and chestnut honey. Nosiola grapes are dried on mats, or settimana santa, from which the wine gets its name.

Cavit NV Lunetta Prosecco (Italy)
- Best Buy
- $11
Cavit is relatively new to the Prosecco genre and this sparkler provides all the fresh fruit flavors you’d expect from this popular category of Italian wine. It’s a low-intensity wine, with notes of peach, honeydew kiwi and white peppercorn. There’s also a slightly soapy-musky tone at the back.

Cavit 2001 Quattro Vicariati Red (Trentino)
- $24
Blueberry and vanilla sum up this wine nicely; despite its beautiful packaging and brilliant ruby color, it doesn’t offer much more. That said, it is an enjoyable and easy wine with enough palate-cleaning acidity to boost its appeal as a companion to most hearty foods.

Cavit 2005 Cavit Collection Pinot Grigio (Delle Venezie)

Nice banana nut, ripe peach, grapefruit and mineral tones render a wine with caressing roundness and fullness. There’s some citrus and spice on the finish, and a touch of sourness at the end. Imported by Palm Bay Imports.
