CAVANI Wines
CAVANI Wines Collection
CAVANI Wines was created to share the spirit of Uruguay with the world. Founded by internationally renowned footballer Edinson Cavani and developed in collaboration with some of the country's most respected wine families, the collection celebrates the authenticity, craftsmanship, and cultural pride that define modern Uruguay. Rather than focusing on a single estate, CAVANI brings together exceptional vineyards, generations of winemaking expertise, and a shared vision of showcasing Uruguay on the global stage.
Produced alongside historic partners including Bodegas Carrau and Finca Giacobbe, each wine reflects a different facet of Uruguay's identity—from the country's iconic Tannat to rare discoveries like Petit Manseng. Influenced by the cooling breezes of the Atlantic Ocean and Río de la Plata, the wines combine freshness, structure, and remarkable balance while remaining true to their origins.
The result is a collection that feels both distinctly Uruguayan and internationally relevant: wines with authentic provenance, award-winning quality, and stories worth sharing. Every bottle is an invitation to discover the people, places, and wild spirit that make Uruguay one of the wine world's most compelling hidden gems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Uruguayan wine special?
Uruguay is one of the few wine countries truly shaped by the ocean. Cool Atlantic breezes and warm days let the grapes ripen slowly, keeping the wines fresh, balanced, and easy to drink with food. The country is best known for Tannat, its bold but approachable signature red, alongside crisp coastal Albariño and a growing range of elegant whites and sparkling wines. Grown in clay, limestone, and granite soils by mostly small, family run estates, these are wines with real character and a strong sense of place.
What food goes with Uruguayan wine?
Uruguayan wine is made for food, so almost anything goes. Tannat and the other reds are a natural match for grilled meats, burgers, hard cheeses, and rich pasta, true to Uruguay's deep asado, or barbecue, tradition. Crisp whites like Albariño love seafood, salads, and fresh, bright dishes, while rosé and sparkling are easy partners for appetizers, cheese boards, and warm afternoons. When in doubt, pour what you'd happily drink with good company.
How should I store and serve Uruguayan wine?
Store your bottles on their side in a cool, dark place, away from heat and direct light. For serving, reds like Tannat shine slightly below room temperature, around 60 to 65°F, while whites, rosé, and sparkling are best well chilled, around 45 to 50°F. If you can, give the bigger reds a few minutes to open up after pouring. And don't feel you have to save them for a special occasion, these are wines made for the everyday table.
