The La Cavea wines are made for Liberty Wines at the Cantina Colli Vicentini near Verona. The name ‘La Cavea’ refers to the beautiful Roman architecture of Vicenza in north-eastern Italy. Wine has been made in the hills around Vicenza for centuries, and grapes like Merlot, Pinot Nero and Pinot Bianco were brought here by Napoleon at the beginning of the 19th century.

The white, a blend of Pinot Bianco and Garganega is fresh and unoaked with lovely weight and nicely rounded fruit on the palate. The red is a rare blend of Merlot and Pinot Nero, with the former giving the wine colour and flesh and the latter lending a lovely fresh and lifted perfume. The Prosecco Spumante has an elegant bouquet and aromas of apples and pears, fresh and fruity on the palate with a crisp, dry finish.

Vineyards

The vineyards for this wine are located on hills with northern exposure. The soil here is calcareous of volcanic origin. The vines are trained using the Guyot system, with approximately 3,500 to 4,000 vines per hectare.

Vinification

The grapes were harvested, de-stemmed and crushed. A cool, slow and temperature controlled fermentation then followed in stainless steel. Secondary fermentation took place in sealed tanks using the Charmat method.
