Pronunciation Of Cavit

What is the correct pronunciation of CAVIT, the Italian wine brand?
Answer From Expert Roger Bohmrich MW

Although I do not speak Italian, I have dealt with many Italian wine producers as an importer. I have always heard them pronounce CAVIT in the following way (expressed phonetically): kah-veet, with the emphasis on the first syllable.
