versatility for a variety of cocktails. UV Vodka

N Cavit wines, from Palm Bay Imports, has created new packaging for its entire range of northern Italian wines. Taking inspiration from the
Dolomite Alps, the new labels feature a die cut of the Dolomite Alps,
along with a more prominent logo, and a
sharper, more detailed image of the Maso.
The new packaging also emphasizes Cavit's
"Eccellenza Italiana" (Italian Excellence),
which is embossed on the label. Both the
shippers and bottles also feature a color
band corresponding to each available variety: Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Riesling,
Moscato, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Cabernet
Sauvignon. In addition, Cavit Chardonnay
now features an "Oak Zero" designation to
reflect its unoaked style, and Cavit Moscato
is now available in a screwcap bottle to better preserve its vibrant frizzante quality.
The Cavit Collection new look debuted in
June nationwide on all sizes: 187 ml 4packs, 375 ml, 750 ml and 1.5 liters.
N Francis Ford Coppola
Winery has debuted its latest
addition to the Sofia label:
the 2012 Sofia Chardonnay

the sparkling Blanc de
Blancs, a gift from Coppola
to his daughter Sofia. The
collection has grown to
incorporate Sofia Minis (the
Sofia Blanc de Blancs blend,
in pink 187 ml cans),
Riesling, Rosé and now Chardonnay. A blend of 75%
Chardonnay and 25% Pinot Blanc, the Chardonnay
displays excellent balance, a supple texture and bright
flavors of crisp green apple, white peaches, juicy
pears, spices and a hint of citrus, the company says. Its
suggested retail price is $19.
