Our Raison d'Être

This is the part where we're supposed to prattle on in market-tested prose about terroir and authenticity, about importing the wines we like to drink and how sure you are to love them. 

At Vino al Vino we chafe at the diluted reiterations of wine-world double-talk. We are simply obsessed with wine and love telling the stories of the people and places that grow it. We believe the wines our vignerons are crafting are needed here at home, and so we put our money where our heart is and import them here to Western Canada, be they already cult favourites from well known regions or be they legends in the making from unsung appellations.

We seek generous expressions of honest winemaking, winemaking that gets out of the grape's way, sings the land to life, and puts history in the glass. These are the wines that give our lives greater depth and texture. Teleportation devices!

Every wine we import is farmed without synthetics and vinified with minimal intervention. If you've had a wild strawberry beside the grocery store version grown for yield rather than complexity, you'll know what we mean. It's farming first. Organic,  Biodynamic, or Regenerative farming, these are our watch words. We truly believe the talented folks growing these wines (call them vigneron(ne)s,  terroirists, wine farmers) are truly  artists, collaborating with nature to capture a year and a place in a bottle, a canvas painted in tastes and smells.
