The grape variety Divico

Divico is a modern red grape variety developed in Switzerland, specifically engineered for resistance to fungal diseases and to adapt to climate challenges. The aromatic profile of Divico wines is marked by expressive notes of dark berries such as blackberry and black cherry, complemented by floral hints of violet, subtle spices, and a delicate herbal undertone. On the palate, Divico typically exhibits medium to full body, vibrant acidity, and a fine tannic structure, resulting in harmonious and age-worthy wines. The primary winegrowing regions for Divico are within Switzerland, notably in the cantons of Vaud, Valais, and Geneva, where its resilience and reliability have made it increasingly popular with progressive winegrowers.

Divico is most often vinified into dry red wines, but can also be found in blends, lending color intensity and complexity. Its fresh acidity and moderate alcohol level make it versatile and food-friendly. Recommended food pairings include grilled lamb, roasted duck, hearty stews, and aged cheeses, where Divico’s fruit-forward character and structured palate enhance both savory and subtly spiced dishes. Divico stands out as a promising, sustainable choice for modern wine enthusiasts and producers alike.
