Anselmo Martini, one of northern Italy’s top enologists, is perhaps best recognized as lead winemaker at Cavit, where he has played an integral role over the past twenty years in developing the winery’s reputation as Trentino’s leading wine producer.

Anselmo Martini was born and raised in Trentino, and during several years of academic and hands-on training at the renowned Istituto Agrario San Michele all’Adige, Martini earned the titles of expert winegrower, cellar master, and a degree in agrotechnics. He then went on to specialize in enology, honing his skills at a number of advanced technical institutions in northern Italy.

In subsequent years, Martini toured many of the world’s major wine producing regions to study indigenous grape varietals and experience firsthand the influence of terroir. Throughout his travels, he encountered a diversity of winemaking techniques and formed valuable connections with key players in the international wine community.

Fundamental to Martini’s professional success has been his continuous and meticulous dedication to quality. Testament to this commitment is his extensive role in the Maso Project, a collaboration between Cavit and the prestigious school of viticultural research at San Michele all’Adige, his alma mater, aimed at exploring experimental vine growing, and winemaking techniques, and applying them to single vineyard sites.
