Cavit Collection Cloud 90 Pinot Grigio

This structured and 'crystalline' white wine originates from Italy, within the high-altitude, cool-climate foothills of Trentino, Veneto, and Friuli in Northern Italy. Produced by Cavit a celebrated cooperative winery founded in 1950 representing thousands of heritage family growers the 'Cloud 90' Pinot Grigio is a naturally low-calorie, low-alcohol expression designed for mindful drinking without sacrificing flavor. Sourced from choice hillside plots in the Vallagarina Valley and surrounding alpine regions, the vines are rooted in nutrient-poor gravelly, limestone, and sandy alluvial soils. The region's unique mesoclimate defined by intense high-elevation solar radiation during the day and cooling alpine breezes sweeping down from the Dolomites at night allows Pinot Grigio to develop crisp varietal aromatics while locking in a razor-sharp, mouthwatering natural acidity.

Wine Description

The Cavit Collection Cloud 90 Pinot Grigio presents a luminous, pale straw-yellow color in the glass with bright greenish-silver highlights along the rim. Its sensory profile is exceptionally fresh, high-toned, and complex, delivering a crisp, light, and vibrant portrait of alpine Northern Italian white wine. The bouquet opens with an inviting display of fresh green apple, crisp Williams pear, and Meyer lemon zest, seamlessly layered with delicate underlays of white floral blossoms, citrus peel, and a subtle line of crushed limestone minerality. On the palate, the wine is light-bodied, sleek, and precisely focused, showcasing a vibrant core of crunchy orchard fruit, lemon-lime citrus, and subtle herbal nuances. It is characterized by its outstanding inner energy and an incisive, mouthwatering backbone of natural acidity that effortlessly elevates its mid-palate fruit density. The mouthfeel is weightless, athletic, and supple, carrying into a clean, dry, and mineral-driven finish accented by lingering notes of lime peel, green apple skin, and flint.
