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.
