Vivera

Vivera is the realization of the dream of a family with the same name, which came true in 2002 on the northeastern slope of Mount Etna in the Martinella area after they acquired and built a winery there. The family embodies the true essence of Sicily— the mother hails from Corleone, the father from the Ragusa Chiaramonte Gulf, and their three children grew up in Catania. The estate encompasses 45 hectares of vineyards and olive groves. Local varieties such as Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio, and Carricante have been planted in the Martinella area, all produced using organic methods, situated at an elevation of 550 to 600 meters above sea level. The climate around Mount Etna provides cool nights in addition to bright days, while the volcanic soil imparts a distinctive acid structure and minerality to the wines. The family's passion runs deep; their wine cellar is the home of their wines, their vineyards are amidst fire and water—everything they do has roots tracing back through generations. The vineyards are ideal for organic cultivation, being healthy and balanced. Here, the latest technology and ancient winemaking culture form a symbiosis. Every detail had long been a part of their dreams and plans.
