Âmevive wines are known for their vibrancy and unique sense of place, showcasing a commitment to artisanal winemaking. Founded by Anderson and Topher de Felice, Âmevive Winery takes its name from the French term meaning "soulful" or "living soul." The winery focuses on regenerative farming at the historic Ibarra-Young Vineyard, blending Rhône and Spanish influences.
