Toni Vicens, director
Toni Vicens
Toni is a great fan of quality wines and liquors and an Internet enthusiast. He has always wanted to bring his two interests together.
"The proliferation of wine cellars around Spain that produce good wine is a joy and a pleasure for wine buffs. But the tremendous increase in supply means it's harder to make a choice.
In this new scenario, professional guidance is almost essential if you don't want to end up tasting a lot of mediocre wines to find the pearls in today's winemaking panorama.
The Internet is the ideal tool to solve the problem. You can get the help you need wherever you are."
As a former usability consultant, Toni feels that very few Internet stores have succeeded in adapting to people's needs in our country and are so complicated to use that most users are put off.
Vinissimus was created with two ideas in mind: to offer interesting, original wines selected by a professional sommelier and to give our customers a fully satisfactory shopping experience.
Claudio Comella, sommelier and enologist
Claudio Comella
Claudio works as a sommelier and has a great passion for wine. His frequent participation in all kind of enological events and activites, such as wine tastings, fairs or sommelier contests (he was in the finals of "La Nariz de Oro" on two occasions, the Wine Competition annually held in Madrid) makes him an excellent connoisseur of today's wine scene.
As an enologist, Claudio worked in various wineries, as prestigious as Domaine de Chevalier, in Pessac-Léognan, or Didier Dagueneau, in Pouilly-Fumé (France); Pikes Wines, in Clare Valley (Australia); or Castillo Perelada, in the Empordà (Spain), where he gained an experience that allows him to have a comprehensive sight of the world's enological diversity, regarding types of cultivation, grapes, terroirs and styles of elaboration.
"My passion for wine started with a bottle of Mouton Rothschild. It was on my first trip to France and I still remember that awesome feeling, a mix of mystery and dizziness aroused from that moment that I must describe today as very exciting. It is amazing how many pleasures we are offered by Nature, it is like opening a surprise box, and for me, wine is one of the most attractive ones.
Learning about wine, the only imperishable aliment, is really amazing: not only it offers us a never-ending list of sensations and nuances but these are impressions that are so changeable, varying according to your mood, to the glass used or the people who are drinking with you at that moment. I can't think of any other drink offering all this magic.
My enthusiasm encourages me to be permanently learning, and I have realised how much I still have to learn; the more you know, the more you need to ask!
To be Vinissimus' sommelier is for me a great pleasure. It allows me to be in daily contact with this amazing world, to find out and know new regions, styles and winemakers, and to offer you all the best of my knowledge and experience. I will be delighted to receive your comments and opinions, to know your little stories... so we can grow in this knowledge every day a bit more. Because you should never forget that wine is like art: evolving culture. Let's learn and enjoy it together!"
...and a great team
Alongside Toni and Claudio, Vinissimus has a team of experts who handle all the details on this Web site, assist our customers personally and make sure the delivery service is secure and fast.
Our selection of wines, cavas, champagnes and liquors
Vinissimus offers the top wines on the Spanish wine-making scene, along with an original, independent selection of great wines characterized by an excellent price/quality ratio. Our selection consists mostly of wines not usually found in wine shops and food stores, often produced by small or medium-size wineries with limited distribution capacity, or foreign wines that are especially representative of their places of origin. All of them have aroused our interest for one reason or another, and we are very pleased to make them available for you to discover.
Vinissimus is not connected in any way to wineries or distributors. Our selection aims only to give you a chance to enjoy a wide assortment of wines of different origins, philosophies and styles but always with quality as the main benchmark.
