Cavit Cloud 90

Cavit Cloud 90 comes in a 750ml bottle and is listed here as an Italian white wine. The grape blend isn't stated, so what follows describes what Italian whites of this kind usually offer, not a measured profile of this bottle. Expect a dry, light-to-medium-bodied white with citrus, green apple or pear fruit, brisk acidity, no noticeable tannin, and little or no oak. Wines in this style usually finish clean and fairly short, which makes them easy to drink. The bottle works best with light, simple food. Shellfish, grilled white fish, fried calamari, and pasta with lemon, olive oil or a light cream sauce are all good matches. Salads with a mild vinaigrette, fresh mozzarella, and chicken or prosciutto-based antipasti suit it too. Heavily spiced or rich, tomato-heavy dishes will overwhelm a wine of this weight. Serve it well chilled, at roughly 7 to 10°C (45 to 50°F). About three hours in the refrigerator, or thirty minutes in an ice bath, gets it there. It doesn't need decanting. Just pour it and let it warm a little in the glass. A standard white wine glass with a moderately narrow bowl keeps the fruit aromas focused and the temperature steady for longer. Treat it as a drink-now bottle. Light, crisp whites like this are made for freshness and don't improve with cellaring. Keep it cool and out of direct light until you open it.
