The brand Vivallis was created in 2004 from the centuries-old heritage of Società Agricoltori Vallagarina – Vallis Agri Scarl. “VI” as vinegrowers (viticoltori), vine (vite), wine (vino) and life (vita); “VALLIS” to remark the strong connection with the latin origins and with the roots of the valley’s enological culture.
