Those are the eye watering numbers the Caviro wine group can boast. They began in 1966 in the heart of Emilia-Romagna and today Tavernello is their flagship brand, with over 7 million Italian households regularly whipping the tops off amazing value Italian red and white wines.
This is the Tavernello Organic Sangiovese (pronounced san-joe-vae-sae) – a medium bodied, soft, luscious, highly drinkable red that is the most planted variety in Italy.
