At a former archbishop's castle located in the Dolomite Alps on the shores of Lake Toblino, over 2,000 years ago the Tyrolean mountain folk introduced the Romans to the practices of trellised vines and wood barrels. Since then, winemaking has been a way of life in Trentino–Alto Adige, which is known as one of Europe's oldest wine regions and one of Italy's best. The castle, Maso is now home to Cavit.

No other place could create a wine this magical. With its warm summer days, cool mountain nights and well-drained, stony soil, Trentino–Alto Adige offers an excellent combination of a temperate climate and superb growing conditions.
