VI has a bright gold robe and shows concentrated aromas of tropical fruits such as mango, ripe pineapple, sweet lemon juice, and ripe peach. These fruity notes are pleasantly intertwined with mild oaky aromas of toasted bread, butter, biscuits, and a light smokey note.
Once sipped, VI wine surprises with its high acidity, which is very well balanced into a pretty rich body, yet still agile. The underlying nutty and caramel flavors reveal a little more clearly its complexity. Finally, it ends with a lasting fruity finish.

Vi
Vi is a wine that not only pays homage to the classic Chassagne-Montrachet style, but also celebrates the unique terroir and diversity of the Vipava valley. Crafted from 100% barrel-fermented Chardonnay, using a combination of new and used oak barrels, Vi is a true expression of the land.
To ensure the best quality, we select our Allier oak barrels in cooperation with French boutique cooperage DAMY. The medium toast of the oak barrels adds depth and complexity to the wine, resulting in a beautifully balanced flavor profile.
Vi's aroma is a stunning blend of ripe fruit, vanilla, and toasted oak, with a subtle hint of minerality. On the palate, the wine is rich and creamy, with notes of stone fruit and citrus, and perfectly balanced acidity. The result is a wine that is full-bodied, complex, and deliciously satisfying.
Named after our children Vito and Iza, Vi embodies our love and commitment to family. Crafted with the utmost care and attention to detail, Vi is a wine that respects the different characters and styles of Chardonnay, while celebrating their diversity.
