Pravis is a winery born of the abiding friendship between Domenico Pedrini, Mario Zambarda and Gianni Chistè and dedicated to representing the ancient hardworking peasant culture and identity of their region. Now, little by little, the founders are entrusting the reins to the second generation: Erika, Giulia, Lina and Alessio. 

The vines are found in the timeless landscape of rugged mountains and shimmering lakes, resting between medieval castles and swathes of rural land. Scattered at the foot of Monte Bondone and Castel Madruzzo, in the Valle di Cavedine, the vines benefit from the calcareous terrain specific to the Dolomites. 

With an extraordinary combination of Trentino traditions and innovation, Pravis is a forger of experimentation, cultivating PIWI certified, fungus-resistant varieties of grapes which require far less use of pesticide.  Pravis is also renowned as master blenders of local autochthonous and international grape varietals for which Trentino is famous.  For their grappa production, they use a bain-marie alembic still which is no longer in common use.  This process allows the grappa to preserve its uniquely vinous and fresh flavours. The grappa is made solely with marc obtained from Pravis’ own grapes, displaying the final incarnation of their ability to use every ounce of their vineyards’ bounty. 

With foresight and skill, this cantina has brought recognition to its valley, with wines prized as among the most authentic expressions of mountain winemaking.
