Our roots date back to 1908 thanks to the farsightedness of the founder, don Giovanni Battista Panizza: he was able to define the cooperation as “that very strong instrument that allows many farmers to gather their strengths in order to shape a big power for everybody”. Every member, as simple farmer, could turn into a small agricultural entrepreneur who is convinced and committed to be part of an efficient and dynamic reality which is able to read and interpret the trends. 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. The brand mirrors the historical and passionate link of the work in the vineyard and in the cellar as coherent expression of its territory. Today Vivallis conveys the strength of its roots, dating back to 1908, by harvesting and vinifying grapes from over 900 hectars of vineyards which are located in traditional areas and are wisely cultivated by over 700 farmers under the supervision of an expert team of agronomists and winemakers. The production goal is ambitious: bringing culture, history and passion for the past in our wines and offering more modern products through a controlled use of innovative technology in order to continue to be a true and dynamic expression of Vallagarina.completed has just terminated an enlargement and renovation process at structural and organizational level aiming at giving a more modern configuration to a recognized historical institution in the viticultural tradition of Vallagarina.

Provides 1 wine tasting and winery visit from €35.00
The Borgo dei Posseri farm lies on a sunny plateau at 450-650 m above sea level on the left side of the Adige Valley, above the historical small town of Ala, between Trento and Verona, in a place called Pozzo Basso. You reach it by going along the first stretch of Ronchi Valley, a geologically interesting area being the connection between the Lessini Mountains in the south, and the Small Dolomites. At its shoulders, the Carega group lies above 2200 m on calcareous rocks in a typically prealpine environment, characterized by belts of chestnut, beech and fir. The vineyards, spaced out by thistle woods and pastureland, are mainly flat or slightly sloping down to the west, while the exposure is mainly to west and north-west. Winds coming from south (Ora) and north regularly pass though the area and make it an ideal habitat for grapevine cultivation in a non-intensive environment.
