Thanks to Caviro Extra’s superior know-how, it has become a main supplier of ingredients, semi-processed products and services for leading companies in the pharmaceutical, food, beverage and agronomic sectors.

Caviro Extra’s commitment to innovation extends to the production of energy from renewable sources, such as advanced biomethane, thus promoting sustainable mobility.

FROM ITS AGRICULTURAL ORIGINS
TO A VOCATION FOR NATURE

With over 37,300 hectares of vineyards, 27 cooperative wineries, 11,650 wine growers in 7 Italian regions and a production of 660,000 tons of grapes, Caviro is a leading agricultural cooperative in Italy in the wine-making sector.

From 1966, the year of its foundation, the company has been committed to the exploitation of its shareholders’ grapes through an integrated industry and the production of Italian wines of interest to various markets and suited to international tastes.

Around 2 million hectolitres of Caviro’s wine are sold around the world today, bottled in its production plants in Forlì and Savignano sul Panaro.

From the wine-making industry, Caviro Extra receives more than 660,000 tons of production waste every year, ready to be transformed into ingredients and products of high added value.

A DIVERSIFIED AND INNOVATIVE PRODUCTION

The production plants of Faenza and Treviso house the four divisions of Caviro Extra.
Treviso is the home of Extra Tartarica, profiting from the experience of Tartarica Treviso, which is devoted to the production of natural tartaric acid, while Faenza is the home of Extra Alcoli, Extra Mosti ed Estratti and Extra Eco-Energia.

Through years of growth and R&D, the production commitment of Caviro Extra has been able to prove its worth in many different contexts. As well as alcohol and spirits, such as brandy, derivatives of the processing of wine marc and lees, Extra is one of the main national producers of rectified musts and grape sugar, and is also one of the major world players in the tartaric acid sector, a natural organic acid contained in wine lees that can be used in many different industrial sectors (food, pharmaceuticals, construction, oenology and industrial chemistry).

Grape pips are collected from the wine-making process. These are precious because they contain polyphenol, which has significant antioxidant properties and which produces a natural, healthy oil that is high in polyunsaturated fat. From red grape marc, particularly Ancellotta and Montepulciano, oenocyanin, a natural red fo od colouring, is extracted, which is highly in demand for the agri-food industry. The circle of sustainability is completed with the Extra Eco-Energia division, which treats the agri-food waste and produces biogas used both to generate electricity and to produce advanced biomethane for the transport industry. The remaining fluids, after centrifugation, are used as a fertilizer in agriculture.

A new business value

Today the value of a company is measured not only with the classic economic-financial indicators, but increasingly with the impact it generates on the territory and in the context in which it operates. Since its establishment, the Caviro Group's model has focused on the synergy of the processes, on the well-being of consumers, on the reduction of the environmental impact and waste, on the enhancement of human resources, on attention to social issues and on the construction of guarantees that last time. The Sustainability Report represents this model.
