Cantina Lavis Muller-Thurgau

Cantina Lavis is an historical winery located at the heart of the Trentino subregion. Founded in 1850 by the Cembran family, it has been a cooperative since 1948. I met with them at Vinitaly 2025 and went through their portfolio. This Italian Muller-Thurgau stood out!
 
WHAT IS MULLER-THURGAU?
 
A cross between Riesling and Madeleine Royal, the vines are known to be hyper-productive and thus, sometimes the wines can be a bit boring. However, quality minded wineries offer Müller-Thurgau with the same complexity as fine Riesling. Cantina Lavis have made just that!
 
TASTING NOTES:
 
Cantina Lavis Muller-Thurgau is bright yellow in appearance, with fruity aromas of green apple and lychee, coupled with floral hints of lily and jasmine. Rich and balanced on the palate, mellow and well structured due to five months of lees ageing.
