1963. Joe Scavi and Carluccio Ray are living and working in New York. They run a flourishing advertising agency with well-known clients from the international fashion scene. On a trip to Italy together, they discovered a vineyard in the region of Veneto in Treviso province and decided that this is where they would start their new company. This is where they pressed their first deliciously fresh, delicately aromatic, and sparkling prosecco using late-ripening white Glera grapes. And so the Scavi & Ray Winery was born.
The rows of vines stretching across the sunny landscape around Venice generate high-quality prosecco creations. Italian winemakers have been hand-picking grapes here using traditional methods for centuries. A prosecco with a controlled denomination of origin must be created in line with very precise rules that are strictly controlled. Cultivation, production, and bottling are closely linked to Veneto, the quality region in Northern Italy. Only sparkling wines that come from this region are entitled to call themselves prosecco.
Today Scavi & Ray is an Italian premium brand and market leader in the prosecco segment. They have maintained the two founders’ fantastic connection with the glamorous world of fashion and show business. Scavi & Ray can be found at European Fashion Weeks, high-level red carpet events, international VIP events, and in the top German football stadiums.
