Cavit Winery

Day 2
We spent the day with a wonderful winemaker named Fabrisso, from Cavit winery.  We had a personal tour of the vineyards,winery, and storage facility.  They export to all over the world and it was very interesting on how it all works.  After the tour we were treated to a fabulous lunch at Maso Toresella which is Cavit's private summer castle with a vineyard in front producing only their premium wines.  We had our own private chef.  We started with a appetizer on the patio with Trento cheese and my new favorite sparking wine Lunetta Rose (we cannot get it in the us). The following courses were for lunch
Soufflé of ricotta
Risotto with shrimp and white asparagus
Deer fillet with blueberry sauce
Fresh cheese pie with fruit
Coffee and grappa
6 different wines - one to go with each course

We were stuffed and I drank too much, but on with the day.  We walked old historic Trento and then took a nap because we met everyone for dinner only 4 hours later.  The food was equally delicious and 4 more bottles of wine were opened with only 3 more courses for dinner and dessert.  I think Rod ate a half gallon of chocolate gelato for dessert.  I didn't so so bad myself with a chocolate cannoli.

Dinner lasted for about 3 1/2 hours and then we said goodbye to our new Italian friend who happens to be a winemaker for Cavit and visits Sonoma/Napa Valley yearly.  So we may cross paths again.  His very good friends live in Healdsburg.
