Red Wine
Vieni Estates produces wines from a wide range of grape varietals and hybrids grown right here on our 175 acre estate on the brow of the Niagara Escarpment, in the rolling hills of the Vinemount Ridge.
We grow the traditional varietals of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Gamay Noir, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Pinot Meuniere, and classic Canadian hybrids including Marachel Foch, Baco Noir, De Chaunac, and Chambourcin.
Vieni is also the only winery in Canada to grow and produce wines from the Aglianico grape, an ancient varietal that produces extremely rich and aromatic red wine.
Pasquale Raviele founded Vieni Estates to share his passion for the creation of exceptional wines and spirits, always trusting in the superior quality of the vines he cultivated on our vineyard, here on the fertile lands of the Vinemount Ridge.
A blend of estate grown grapes showing great balance.
Briganti was the goddess of the largest Celtic tribe in the north of England - the Brigantii. They constantly challenged Roman rule, and armed conflict frequently erupted when the confines of Pax Romana became unbearable.
A Bruce Trail partner and landowner, this wine is a reflection of the essence of the Bruce Trail.
The 2015 Pinot Noir, crafted from grapes grown on the cool hills of the Vinemount Ridge, is a well balanced and pleasantly approachable wine that is a distinct reflection of the terroir.
Our RED TRILLIUM RIPASSO wine remains in contact with the pomace of the Appassimento for about ten days creating an easy drinking medium-bodied Appassimento Wine.
Our 2016 Gamay is a brilliant ruby red, medium bodied wine, fresh and fruity with notes of wild cherry, black pepper nutmeg and soft tannins which culminate in good length and a delicious mouthfeel.
Merlot vines thrive in the well-drained soils of the Vinemount Ridge, and the summer of 2013 has created a wine of great character.
Brigantia was the goddess of the largest Celtic tribe in the north of England - the Brigantii. They constantly challenged Roman rule, and armed conflict frequently erupted when the confines of Pax Romana became unbearable.
Cabernet Franc, parent to both Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, is a varietal ideally suited to our cool climate.
