VICARIO Vineyards
Between 2010 and 2018, the Vicario Vineyards in Cortona Italy produced fine wines, however, today the grapes are used only for VICARIO Brandy and Grappa and VICARIO Vino Chinato Liqueur.
Grapes grown to produce Vicario Wines, are certified Bio-Vegan. No animals were used in growing our grapes for fertilizers or any other purpose, nor were any animal by-products used in creating VICARIO all natural wines.
Even if you are not a practicing Vegan, you can be assured there are no egg whites, or fish products (typically used), in the filtering and clarification process. No animal products, including manure were used on our grapes. Instead, we use cover crops, mulching and composting for fertilizing and healthy soil. Our vineyards are certified by the European Union as Biological, and pending official certified Vegan by the ICEA (Environmental and Ethical Certification Institute) in Bologna, Italy.
VICARIO-protecting the earth for future generations.
Why do we certify Vegan?
For many reasons, but, mostly for our customers who want to know what they are purchasing that is not required by label laws, due to ethical reasons, environmental reasons, or allergy and health related reasons.
