James and Luca Currado, winemaker at Vietti winery in Castiglione Falletto, discuss the 2017 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 added that 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 said he found the tannins in the 2017 incredibly silky, and very enjoyable, although not as outstanding as the 2015.
But does Luca think the 2017 completes a trilogy with the 2015 and 2016 vintages? Check out the Zoom video to find out.
