Lunetta Zero is a non-alcoholic drink produced from selected Moscato and Chardonnay grape musts. The result of much research and innovation, this joins Cavit's succesful Lunetta range, and is a great 0% alcohol alternative to wine without losing flavour. Production Bunches of Moscato and Chardonnay grapes are picked slightly early to maintain crisp acidity. They're destemmed and softly pressed and the resulting must is filtered immediately and stored in refrigerated tanks to prevent any alcoholic fermentation. Carbon dioxide is added to give an appealing fizz to the non-alcoholic base, whilst enhancing the fresh aromas. Tasting notes Delicate grapey aromas enhanced by notes of tropical fruits. Fresh and rounded lemon and grapefruit characters on the palate with natural sweetness balanced by crisp and zesty acidity. Food match Serve chilled, with cakes and desserts, or as part of a non-alcoholic fruity cocktail ABV 0% Case/Bottle Size 6 x 75cl Region/Country Trentino, Italy Grape Chardonnay 50%, Moscato Bianco 50% Features Vegetarian, Vegan, Sparkling Closure Cork Allergen info Contains sulphites and no other allergens Cavit Italy www.cavit.it Meet the Producer Cavit is a leading co-operative in the mountainous Trentino region of northeast Italy. The winery began as a consortium of associated grape growers in 1950, with a dedicated winery at Ravina di Trento built in 1964. Today it unites 11 separate cellars and their combined 5,250 grape growers across 6,350 hectares of vineyard, to produce an impressively broad portfolio from an intriguing palette of indigenous and international grape varieties. Trentino has a much higher proportion of wines produced as DOC than any other region in Italy - an average of 80% of the region's wines have a DOC classification, compared to around 30% elsewhere in the country. Remarkably, Cavit accounts for 60% of this region's wine production and they advise and supervise all aspects of this production from the vineyard to the bottle. Their site at Maso Toresella on the shores of Lake Toblino was the historic residence of the Prince Bishops of Trento, surrounded by 6.5 hectares of vineyard. It is one of the most significant 'masi' (rural estates) in the whole of Trentino. They have worked with the San Michele all’Adige Oenological Institute, since 1988, to develop wines of the highest quality. In 1993 Cantina Altemasi was established, also at Ravina, not far from the region's capital of Trento - for the production and maturation of Classic Trentodoc and Charmat Method sparkling wines. Trento Doc was the first Classical Method sparkling wine DOC to be established anywhere in the world after Champagne, and the first in Italy. A Note on Sustainability For more than two decades Cavit has adhered to the “Protocol for the Production of High-Quality Wines in Trentino”, marking its commitment to fully sustainable agriculture. It is also a member of SEDEX and has achieved SNQPI (Sistema di Qualità Nazionale Produzione Integrata) certification, applicable to its IGT Dolomiti and Trentino DOC wines. In addition to using only green energy, Cavit has made major investments aimed at reducing energy consumption. Specifically, it has built three photovoltaic generators which produce part of its energy requirements from renewable sources (more than 800 Megawatts per year), significantly reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Their remaining energy needs come from 100% guaranteed renewable sources. Cavit are also certified with ISO 14001:2015, the internationally recognised standard for Environmental Management Systems. From 2026 they're moving some key volume ranges (including Lunetta and Terrazze della Luna) into lighter-weight bottles. PICA (Integrated Agricultural and Wine-producing Cartographic Platform), is the result of a five year research project conducted by Cavit in collaboration with MPA Solutions and leading research centres in Trentino: the Edmund Mach Foundation (FEM) and the Bruno Kessler Foundation (FBK). The PICA platform is a complex system, but it works in a simple way. By networking the 4,500 vine growers of the 11 Cavit wine producers’ co-operatives it collects information and gives advice. The main purpose of this platform is to help the grower to achieve total sustainability. The project comprises of two main areas. The first defines the choice of the most suitable grape varieties, on the basis of the technical and environmental parameters of the soil; the second involves the creation of an avant-garde system with which agronomists and winemakers can receive specific information concerning each vineyard and the various phases in the cultivation of the vines. In practice, waste is eliminated and the grower has total control. For example, it is possible to regulate the water supply according to the characteristics of the soil and the weather conditions.
