The roots of Cadis began in 1898 with the founding of Cantina di Soave in Italy’s Verona region. The Veneto region is a prestigious agricultural mosaic, and the idea was to unite the many small producers of the famous DOC denominations into one solid producer to represent the region internationally and domestically. Today, Cadis has 7 facilities, 5 different wine brands representing 3 different DOC denominations, Soave, Valpolicella, and Durello, with some 2000 grower-members contributing to the production of wines for these brands. 

Grape selection is carried out by meticulous, careful analysis and selection through 17 different evaluation parameters, thus ensuring high quality levels. This high-level standard was recognized internationally in 2018 when Cadis was awarded the prestigious “Best Italian Producer of the Year” in London at the International Wine & Spirits Competition.
