The Cantina La-Vis Pinot Grigio Trentino DOC is a 100% Pinot Grigio from the historic cooperative winery in Lavis, Trentino, crafted from organically farmed foothill vineyards at around 270m altitude. It is part of the 'I Classici' range — the winery's flagship varietal line — and is recognised for its Alpine freshness, mineral character, and consistent award-winning quality. The 2024 vintage continues a long track record of critical recognition, with the wine scoring up to 95 points (Luca Maroni) in recent vintages.

Cantina La-Vis (Vitivinicoltori in Trentino)

Founded in 1850 by the Cembran family and officially established as a cooperative in 1948, Cantina La-Vis unites over 800 growers across approximately 800 hectares of Alpine vineyards in Trentino, with 80% of production focused on white varietals. The cooperative pioneered a landmark vineyard zoning project more than 30 years ago that transformed viticulture in the region, and has since earned awards from leading competitions including the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles, AWC Vienna, and Mundus Vini.

Tasting Profile

Intense golden yellow colour with a warm, inviting bouquet rich in ripe fruits and honey; on the palate it shows distinctive rich minerality with crisp Alpine acidity and a long, fruity aftertaste. Critics note 'crisp aromas of mountain apples mingling with fresh herbs and alpine flowers' with 'a streak of minerality that complements its fruity core.'

Region

Trentino DOC covers the Adige Valley and its tributaries in northeast Italy, with vineyards spanning 70 to 700 metres above sea level across 72 municipalities; Pinot Grigio has been recommended for the region since as far back as 1883 and thrives in the cool Alpine climate and mineral-rich soils. The mountainous Trentino region is widely regarded as producing some of Italy's most expressive, mineral-driven Pinot Grigios.
