Iviti Winery
The Viti family: between love, pain and passion.
What an Egyptian artist captured in the winery's logo is lived out here in the family. The boundaries are fluid: full of passion and heart and soul, only 2 grape varieties are grown on this small and young family winery.
A family winery between love, passion and pain.
Finding an excellent Tuscan wine that stands out from the crowd is not easy. We were therefore very curious when we met Luca Viti and he told us that he only makes one wine: Cabernet Sauvignon (which also contains some Cabernet Franc). And that in the Sangiovese stronghold of Tuscany! After the tasting, we were absolutely convinced that we had discovered a real insider tip. The cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, which is reminiscent of a Supertuscan, has a soft elegance paired with full-bodied fruit, which, when so finely balanced, offers a wonderful taste experience. That was exactly what we were looking for. In the 1950s, the Viti family bought the farm where the winery now stands. More and more grapes were grown until further large plots of vineyard were added in 2013. A three-story winery was built, which focuses on Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. All of this in a region where more Sangiovese is grown than anywhere else in the world. The winery's logo was designed by an Egyptian artist and represents the tight embrace of the family's two twin sisters, Laura and Lucia. At the same time, this embrace also shows the fusion of the long and hard physical work that four generations have put into this land.
All organic or what?
There are many definitions of what NATURAL means in winemaking. Not all winemakers are certified to treat nature responsibly. So we check for ourselves on site whether a winemaker meets our standards for treating the natural product wine.
✔ Organic, vegan, unfiltered, natural, etc.
✔ Biodiversity instead of monoculture
✔ Natural products produced at the pace of nature
Trust as the most important currency
Over 50 additives can be used in wine production, none of which have to be listed on the label. Mass-produced and cheap wines are flooding the market with artificially produced smells, appearances and tastes. The security of holding an HONEST product in your hand is therefore our top priority.
✔ 100% family wineries
✔ Personal relationship with the winemaker
✔ No influence from ratings, seals or points
Responsibility for the team in the engine room
The work in winemaking is often physically demanding and time-consuming, and not just during harvest time. Cheap workers from low-wage countries are popular. Against this background, high standards in the SOCIAL area are of fundamental importance to us.
✔ Fair wages and humane treatment
✔ Social responsibility
✔ Social commitment
"I chose this symbol for my wine because it beautifully represents the symbiosis of love, passion and pain through hard work across our entire family."
