“Arele” is a Vino Santo Trentino resulting from Cavit's great knowledge of the territory, the most important cooperative reality in Trentino. The Nosiola vineyards are cultivated in the historic area of the Valle dei Laghi, right at the foot of the alpine peaks. The area enjoys the best conditions for ripening healthy grapes. For the creation of this small jewel of Trentino tradition, only the best bunches are selected, those more scattered, healthy and ripe, particularly suitable for drying. The harvest takes place in October, at an advanced stage of ripening and the bunches are laid out on the racks, called arèle, for drying. After 5 or 6 months in the drying room, the dehydrated grapes affected by Botrytis Cinerea are subjected to a gentle pressing. The must ferments very slowly and the wine ages for 5 or 6 years in small oak barrels, before completing the refinement with 10 months in the bottle.
