Claudio Viviani, along with his wife, Sandra, and his family, farm 10 hectares of vineyards in the hamlet of Mazzano in the historic Valpolicella Classico zone. Mazzano is such a highly-regarded area that the Italian food and wine publication Gambero Rosso has listed it as a Premiere Cru in a hypothetical Valpolicella classification. Here, the vineyards of Viviani sit at some of the highest elevations in the region, 345-450 meters above sea level, on soils of limestone mixed with fossilized pink coral.
Viviani Vineyard has also been awarded One Red Star by Gambero Rosso. Gambero Rosso awards a red star to producers that have won at least ten ‘Tre Bicchieri’ awards in 25 editions of Italian wines, signifying that they are; ‘the elite, the aristocracy. In short, the very top flight of Italian wine.’' - Winery
