TASTING AND DISCUSSING 2017 VIETTI WITH LUCA CURRADO VIETTI

James and Luca Currado, winemaker at Vietti Winery in Castiglione Falletto, discuss the 2017 Vietti vintage.Luca describes the 2017 as "very luxury, opulent [wine with] incredible freshness." The weather for the 2017 was similar to this year's with an early bud break, a short cold winter, and a touch of frost in Piedmont. He adds "[the] acidity never fell down the grape," meaning that despite the weather, the quality and flavors of the grapes weren't affected negatively in any way. In fact, he finds the tannins in the 2017 incredibly silky, and very enjoyable, albeit not as outstanding as the 2015.But does Luca think the 2017 completes a trilogy with the 2015 and 2016 vintages? Watch their conversation to find out.
