Luca Currado of Vietti estate www.vietti.com, is unquestionably one of stars of the Barolo region, producing coveted single cru Barolos as well as outstanding Barbarescos, Barberas and even a fabulous everyday Dolcetto. Even in the midst of active harvesting, Luca welcomed us warmly to his estate during our Piedmont video tour last September, guiding us through the winery and wine tastings. While the wines continue their ascent to excellence vintage after vintage, it seems that Luca has truly hit his stride with the 2006 and 2007 vintages, perhaps the best of his lifetime!

In this video, we asked Luca to share his thoughts about his Barbaresco Masseria and Barolo Castiglione ( a blend of grapes from four vineyards).  As you’ll see in the video, these wines are simply delicious as Luca continues to overachieve vintage after vintage.  He’ll be visiting in both Tucson and Phoenix on January 30th and 31rst respectively as our featured guest in wine pairing dinners.  Check our Local Event Calendar for all the details.  This is one wine pairing event that shouldn’t be missed!
