AVIVO Wines is a California wine brand founded on the belief that wine should taste amazing, be better for you, and help heal the planet. AVIVO produces Red, White, and Rosé wines from Mediterranean grape varieties grown in Lodi's Ledbetter Family Vineyards using certified organic, Biodynamic, and regenerative farming practices.

What makes AVIVO different from other organic wines?

AVIVO combines three principles: climate-appropriate Mediterranean varietals (Sangiovese and Vermentino, which naturally need fewer inputs), certified regenerative and Biodynamic farming (which rebuilds the land), and a minimal-intervention winemaking philosophy with full ingredient transparency. The result is wine that is better tasting, better for you, and better for the planet — with zero sugar, zero carbs, and no additives other than a very small amount of SO₂ to preserve freshness.

Are AVIVO wines organic?

Yes. AVIVO wines are made with 100% certified organic grapes, certified by CCOF (California Certified Organic Farmers). The vineyards are farmed without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or chemicals, and are also certified Glyphosate Free.

What certifications does AVIVO have?

AVIVO wines and vineyards hold multiple certifications: Certified Regenerative (AGW), Certified Organic (CCOF), Certified Sustainable (Lodi Rules), Glyphosate Free, and Certified Vegan. These certifications verify that AVIVO's farming and winemaking meet rigorous environmental and health standards.

Do AVIVO wines have added sugar or carbs?

No. AVIVO wines contain zero sugar and zero carbs. The natural fermentation process converts all residual sugars, resulting in completely dry wines with no added sugar.

What additives are in AVIVO wines?

AVIVO wines contain no additives other than a small amount of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) added at bottling to preserve freshness. There are no added sugars, colors, flavor enhancers, or other common wine additives.

Are AVIVO wines vegan?

Yes. AVIVO wines are Certified Vegan, meaning no animal-derived fining agents are used at any stage of the winemaking process.

What grape varieties does AVIVO use?

AVIVO focuses on Mediterranean varietals naturally suited to California's climate. The AVIVO Red and Rosé are made with Sangiovese, and the AVIVO White is made with Vermentino. These varieties require less intervention in the vineyard and produce naturally balanced fruit.

Where are AVIVO grapes grown?

AVIVO grapes are grown in the Ledbetter Family Vineyards in Lodi, California, operated by third-generation winegrower Craig Ledbetter. The vineyards are certified Biodynamic and Regenerative Organic, with a focus on soil health, biodiversity, and carbon sequestration.

What awards has AVIVO received?

AVIVO wines have received strong critical acclaim: the AVIVO Red earned 92 Points from Wine Enthusiast; the AVIVO White and Rosé each received 91 Points from Wine Enthusiast. The AVIVO Rosé also won a Gold Medal at the 2025 Sommeliers Choice Awards (94 Points) and Double Gold at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.

How do AVIVO wines pair with food?

AVIVO wines are designed to be food-friendly and table-ready. The AVIVO White pairs well with seafood, salads, and light Mediterranean dishes. The AVIVO Red is a great match for pasta, grilled meats, and vegetable dishes. The AVIVO Rosé is versatile and pairs with everything from charcuterie to grilled fish and summer fare.
