{"product_id":"teroldego-rotaliano-cavit-1966","title":"Rotaliano Cavit 1966","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 1966 Rotaliano from Càvit is a red wine originating from the mountainous Trentino region in northern Italy. Càvit, which stands for Cantina Viticoltori del Trentino, was established in 1950 and has grown into one of Italy's most significant wine organizations. Operating as an umbrella for 11 member cooperatives, it represents around 4,500 winegrowers cultivating approximately 5,250 hectares. This structure allows Càvit to showcase the full breadth of Trentino's viticulture, representing the region's cooperative tradition in its most organized form. This 1966 vintage was bottled at 12% alcohol in a 680ml format and features the seal of the Consorzio Cantine Sociali del Trentino, alongside the motto 'Dalla vite alla mensa,' translating to 'From the vine to the table.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrentino is situated within the larger Trentino-Alto Adige area, characterized by a dramatic landscape dominated by the Dolomites and the Adige River valley. The vineyards are frequently planted on steep slopes and terraces that stretch from the valley floor up to high altitudes. The climate here is a unique intersection of alpine and Mediterranean influences. The towering peaks of the Dolomites shield the vines from cold northern winds, while the proximity to Lake Garda to the south moderates the temperatures. This creates a continental climate with significant temperature variations between day and night, providing highly favorable conditions for viticulture in the rugged terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine is made from Teroldego, an ancient grape variety that is almost exclusively cultivated in Italy. Its history in the Trentino-Alto Adige region dates back to the Middle Ages, with historical documents tracing its presence to the 13th and 15th centuries. The name is believed to originate either from an old village called Teroldege or from the dialect term Tiroldego, meaning 'Tyrol's gold.' Genetically, Teroldego is a parent to the local Lagrein grape and a full sibling to the French Dureza, an ancestor of Syrah. The variety thrives particularly well on the Campo Rotaliano, a gravelly, alluvial plain formed by the Adige and Noce rivers. The vines are traditionally trained using the local pergola system, which protects the grapes from direct sunlight and ensures proper ventilation in the alpine climate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cavit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57416418722118,"sku":null,"price":180.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1314_27c103e7-2ec1-4e39-b204-e3e7c41d229f.jpg?v=1789988054","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.nl\/en\/products\/teroldego-rotaliano-cavit-1966","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
