Alvento Winery

Alvento Winery grows grapes at Lincoln (site also says "located in Vineland"), in the Niagara Peninsula appellation. It dates its founding to 2001.

Where it sits

Alvento Winery is at Lincoln (site also says "located in Vineland"), inside Niagara Peninsula — one of the three appellations of origin recognised under Ontario's VQA system. What that claim means on a label, and how the boundary is defined in regulation, is set out on the regions page.

What it grows

The winery works with Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Cabernet Franc and Nebbiolo.

Each of those has a page here on how it behaves in Ontario: the heat it needs to ripen, the Brix it reaches at harvest, and which parts of the province actually plant it.
