2026-04-01

Historic producer highlights nearly a century of tradition and sustainable innovation to global wine industry professionals

Cavazza, a historic winery from Montebello Vicentino, will participate in Vinitaly from April 12 to 15 in Verona. The event is recognized as one of the most important gatherings for the wine industry, attracting both national and international attention. Cavazza will be present in Hall 4 at Stand D1, where visitors can taste new vintages of their volcanic wines and signature selections that have shaped the winery’s reputation since its founding in 1928.

The Cavazza family established the winery nearly a century ago in the Gambellara Classico DOC area. This region is notable for its ancient, dormant volcano, which continues to influence the character of local wines. Cavazza has become a leading producer of Garganega, a grape variety that thrives in this unique terroir. In the 1980s, the family expanded their focus to include the Colli Berici area, known for its marine origins and suitability for red wines. Here, they cultivate both native grapes like Tai Rosso and international varieties such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Today, Cavazza manages 130 hectares of vineyards across these two appellations. The estate produces about 600,000 bottles annually. The winery holds SQNPI certification, which recognizes sustainable practices in agriculture. Cavazza has made a strong commitment to preserving biodiversity and using renewable energy sources throughout its operations.

Vinitaly provides an opportunity for industry professionals and wine enthusiasts to experience Cavazza’s approach to winemaking firsthand. The event will showcase how volcanic soils and careful vineyard management contribute to the distinctiveness of their wines. The presence of Cavazza at Vinitaly highlights both tradition and innovation within Italian wine production.

For more information about Cavazza and their participation at Vinitaly, details are available on their website and through their press office. The event is expected to draw significant interest from buyers, sommeliers, and journalists seeking to explore developments in Italian viticulture.
