Perched on Alpine slopes in Trentino, Lavis is more than a cooperative — it’s a mountain-made movement. Founded in 1948 by just 14 growers, today it unites 400 families who each tend an average of one hectare. That’s a whole lot of passion packed into a tiny patch of land. With vineyards soaring between 200 and 650 meters, Lavis harnesses the power of altitude to craft wines brimming with freshness and minerality.Â
This is hands-on, boots-in-the-soil winemaking, where pergola-trained vines climb rocky terraces and grapes are still picked by hand. Over the past three decades, La-Vis has mapped out its terroir like a cartographer of flavor, matching grape to slope with surgical precision. Eighty percent of production is crisp, expressive whites like Pinot Grigio, Müller Thurgau, and Chardonnay, while local reds—Schiava, Teroldego, and Lagrein—hold down the fort with Alpine soul.Â
Sustainability isn’t a buzzword here, it’s the playbook: certified protocols, eco farming, and a commitment to preserve Trentino’s wild beauty. At Lavis, every bottle is a love letter to the land, hand-delivered by the people who live on it.Â

Did you know?
More than 30 years ago, the Lavis cooperative launched a pioneering subzone survey and study of Trentino vineyards that would entirely transform viticulture in the region. Today, all of its growers use the best-suited sites for the given grape variety, thus increasing quality and terroir expression.  Â
