Cadis 1898 closes its financial statements at ¤126.8 million: turnover up 6%

Cadis 1898 closed the 2025-2026 financial year with a turnover of €126.8 million, nearly 6% growth compared to the previous year and a 15% increase in sales volumes . This is a significant result for the Verona-based winemaking cooperative in Soave, achieved during a particularly challenging period for the sector, characterized by declining consumption and uncertainties in international markets. The financial statements, ending June 30, 2026, were unanimously approved by the shareholders' meeting held on November 7 in the Rocca Sveva auditorium and confirm the company's solidity, with net equity of €73.8 million and a positive operating profit of €335,000 . Financial management has improved: cash flow generated by operating activities exceeds €8 million, while overall debt has decreased by over €4.2 million .

"In one of the most challenging years for the wine world, we have demonstrated our ability to navigate change while maintaining a solid position and a strong ability to respond to market demands," emphasizes Gabriele Posenato, president of Cadis 1898. "These results are the fruit of a collective effort involving the members and the entire company structure. Our mission remains to enhance the value of the grapes supplied and ensure continuity and prospects for our member farms. In a context in which viticulture is undergoing profound transformations, being able to count on a structured cooperative, capable of investing and maintaining a presence on the markets, is a fundamental asset for the region."

During the fiscal year, Cadis1898 received approximately 1.1 million quintals of grapes, 158,000 more than the previous harvest, for a total remuneration of over 58 million euros . This is in addition to approximately 13.4 million euros paid for must and wine deliveries. Overall, the value of member contributions exceeds 71.5 million euros, confirming the centrality of the mutualistic component to the company's business. On the commercial front, growth is driven primarily by international markets and the ability to adapt the offering to new consumer trends. Packaged wine represents 60% of turnover, while the remaining 40% comes from bulk sales. Cadis 1898 has also continued to develop its own brands and private label production.

"The growth in volumes and revenue demonstrates that the commercial and industrial decisions we've made are yielding results," emphasizes Alberto Marchisio, General Manager of Cadis 1898. "We're working on multiple fronts: strengthening customer relationships, developing foreign markets, product innovation, and streamlining our facilities. The sector is changing rapidly, and today it's not enough to produce quality wines: we need to be able to interpret consumer demand, diversify our offerings, and respond promptly to distribution demands. The investments we've made are moving precisely in this direction and allow us to face the coming challenges with confidence." This strategy is also being implemented in product innovation, from the expansion of the Maximilian range with spritzes to the launch of VAL & SO, the new 0.25-liter bottles of Soave DOC and Valpolicella DOC, with screw caps. These projects leverage Cadis 1898's winemaking and production expertise, focusing on new formats and consumption opportunities.

The development process also encompasses sustainability. Following the Equalitas certification obtained for the Soave site, in 2026 the recognition was extended to the Cazzano di Tramigna and Illasi plants, while work continues to include the other locations. With seven plants and a consolidated presence in Italian and international markets, Cadis 1898 continues its development journey, focusing on innovation, competitiveness, and product enhancement.
