Some people take their vodka infused with flavors like cupcakes, gummy bears, maple syrup, or bacon. Others seem content with vodka derived from soybeans, grape skins or any other refuse a "master" distiller can scrape off his factory floor.
At BiVi, we believe a vodka should get its taste from how and where it’s made. BiVi Vodka is made from the finest semolina wheat grown out of the rich volcanic soil and pure mountain spring water of Sicily.
BiVi is crafted by Master Distiller Giovanni La Fauci, who began his career when he was only eleven years old.
Giovanni is old-school. Using Sicilian fruitwoods from the trees of blood oranges and Sicilian lemons, he only fires his stills when the moon is just right. Says Giovanni, "it has to be a certain moon. If not, go home and go to sleep."

BiVi is the only vodka from Sicily. The name BiVi comes from the Sicilian-Italian word for "to drink." It's something you might hear shouted by an older member of your dinner party, urging you to enjoy yourself, "Bivi! Bivi!"
Take a look around the island, and you'll immediately notice the lushness. Oranges, lemons, olives, almonds, grapes, and of course, semolina wheat. None of this would be possible without the rich volcanic soil, courtesy of Mt. Etna.
Sicily has been called home by many different people hailing from all over Europe and Northern Africa; people who have come together to create a rich, patchwork culture all its own.
Clear skies, low humidity, bright sun. This is a typical day in Sicily, a Mediterranean paradise. It might get pretty hot, but you can keep cool with an ice-cold drink on the beach.
Sicily has a history dating back thousands of years. Ruins from the Greco-Roman period can still be seen there today. In fact, the earliest evidence of humans dwelling on the island dates as early as 12,000 BC.
Chances are good that you will recognize Chazz Palminteri from his prominent roles in films such as A Bronx Tale, The Usual Suspects, and Analyze This.
Like BiVi, Chazz is proud to be 100% Sicilian. Chazz has long been an aficionado of Continental European vodka, but he shares our passion for all things Sicilian, and became an enthusiastic collaborator during BiVi's infancy.
Chazz is a consummate storyteller, and he's got plenty to tell.

The best way to enjoy BiVi is to take the bottle out of the freezer, pour it into a rocks glass, and sip it straight. But it will also elevate any cocktail you make with it. Here are a few of our favorites.
Pour a little bit of dry vermouth in a chilled martini glass and swirl to coat the inside of the glass. Dispose of the excess vermouth. In a shaker or mixing glass full of ice, gently swirl or stir the vodka before straining into a glass. To garnish, add an olive or a twist of lemon.
Shaken straight up. Served in a martini glass and garnished with a slice of blood orange.
Shake all the ingredients and serve over fresh ice in a cocktail glass. Garnish with crushed dark chocolate espresso beans.
Fill a shaker with ice and add all of the ingredients. Shake hard and serve over fresh ice in a rocks glass. Garnish with fresh basil.
Add all the ingredients to a shaker and fill with ice. Shake hard and strain into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice. Garnish with a lemon wheel and as many grapes as desired.
Build in a chilled copper mug, over ice. Garnish with a lime wedge.
To make the Bloody Mario mix, combine all the ingredients in a large pitcher, cover, and shake well. Refrigerate. Can last up to four days.
Salt the rim of a highball glass. Pour the vodka in the glass over ice, and fill to the brim with Bloody Mario mix. Garnish with celery, pancetta or prosciutto, olive, and lime wedge.
Chazz Palminteri tells a story about vodka, but, as so many of his stories, it is really about people. Two and a half years ago, Palminteri was told that his home country of Sicily had never produced a vodka. He contacted a master distiller in that region, a man named Giovanni La Fauci, to team up…
