The Vino Santo Arèle of the Cavit Winery is a sweet wine born from the native Nosiola vine. After drying, it is aged for over 5 years in oak and reveals itself for a full-bodied and velvety character. Its intense golden yellow color is accompanied by intense notes of dried fruit, almonds and chestnut honey. The sip is balanced in structure, freshness and sweetness, with a pleasant toasted persistence

The Trentino Vino Santo "Arele" by Cavit is a historic regional specialty, made with the indigenous grape variety Nosiola in purity. It is an ancient wine, already famous in past centuries, when it was served as a precious nectar on the tables of the Austro-Hungarian royal courts. It is a passito with balanced sweetness, well balanced by freshness, making the sip particularly smooth and pleasant. A true excellence of Trentino tradition, it is offered in a prestigious version, made with high-quality grapes from the most suitable areas of the region.

“Arele” is a Trentino Vino Santo resulting from a deep knowledge of the territory by Cavit, the most important cooperative reality in Trentino. The Nosiola vineyards are cultivated in the historic area of the Valle dei Laghi, right at the foot of the alpine peaks. The area enjoys the best conditions for ripening healthy grapes. For the creation of this small jewel of Trentino tradition, only the best bunches are selected, those more sparse, healthy, and ripe, particularly suitable for drying. The harvest takes place in October, during the advanced ripening stage, and the bunches are laid out on racks, called arèle, for drying. After 5 or 6 months in the drying room, the dehydrated grapes affected by Botrytis Cinerea are subjected to a gentle pressing. The must ferments very slowly and the wine matures for 5 or 6 years in small oak barrels, before completing the aging process with 10 months in the bottle.

The Vino Santo Trentino “Arele” Cavit is a dessert wine rich in aromas, which seduces with finesse and elegance. It is excellent to enjoy with dry pastries or almond paste desserts. Try it with a platter of flavorful and aged cheeses. Visually, it has a beautiful bright antique gold color, with light amber reflections. Complex and intense, it presents a palette of fascinating aromas, reminiscent of dried fruit, almond, sultana, the softness of wildflower honey, ripe yellow fruit, candied citrus peels, and dried apricot.
