About Cavit Wines
Combine more than a half-century of winemaking expertise, the dramatic landscape and terroir of northern Italy, and a profound enjoyment of the good things in life. The result: the Cavit Collection, source of America’s #1 Italian wine*. Cavit swept onto the radar of American wine lovers in the 1970s as a pioneer of a then-little-known white wine called Pinot Grigio. Prized for its crisp, elegant character, fruit flavors, and delicate floral aroma, Pinot Grigio is a demanding grape to cultivate, but has flourished in northern Italy for over a century. Cavit has consistently championed this varietal in the U.S., earning its well-deserved title of America’s #1 Italian Pinot Grigio.
Additionally, Cavit produces a full range of high-quality, approachable and food-friendly wines including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Moscato, Oak Zero Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Prosecco, Prosecco Rosé, Rosé, Select Red Blend, and Sweet Red. For more, visit cavit.com.
About Nonna’s Italy
Nonnas Italy is a unique cooking experience that brings the art, love, and magic of traditional recipes to life through the hands and hearts of grandmothers.
Founded in Italy eight years ago by Chiara Nicolanti and her grandmother Nerina, what began with one Nonna has blossomed into a beautiful family of 11 Italian grandmothers sharing their secrets to making pasta from scratch in a charming village just outside Rome.
Today, the family continues to grow across borders, with six French grandmothers sharing their treasured recipes in Paris, and with plans to welcome Greek and Spanish grandmothers next.
Our dream is to celebrate grandmothers from every corner of the world, sharing their stories, cultures, and traditions, one recipe and one unforgettable experience at a time.
