Wine Accolades: Gambero Rosso: 2 Glasses Vivino -4.2

Brand Story:
The Vivianis are an artisanal wine making couple who are passionate about the wines from their region and partial to the odd fine Burgundy too. From their vineyards in the Mazzano zone of the historical Valpolicella Classico with stunning vistas over the town of Negrarand its valley, they are making some of the most honest, pure and engaging Valpolicella there is. The vines are situated at around 450 metres above sea level, which offers the best possible conditions for cultivation. It was in 1992 when Claudio Viviani started bottling the produce of the family's vineyard after decades of his father selling in bulk. Despite its relatively small size, Viviani has obtained a place of honor among the best known and most respected artisanal producers of Valpolicella. "1 STAR WINERY" by Gambero Rosso Wine Guide 2021

Tasting Notes: The warm reflections of the charming ruby-red colour disclose an elegant bouquet, with fresh sensations of fleshy red fruits such as black cherry, blackberry preserve, faded rose petals and sweet spices. Fine notes of eucalyptus, toffee, liquorice and chocolate chips follow straight after. On the palate the rich and noble flavour of chocolate fades into the velvety texture of mocha. Warm and extraordinarily smooth at first, in the end it shows off perfect tannins and a marvellous freshness. Amazingly long aftertaste.
