LUNCH WITH VIETTI WINERY

Elena Pena Currado, Vietti
Friday, February 7 |12-2pm
$75 per person (+ tax & gratuity)

Although they had been making wine for four generations, the turning point came in the 1960’s when Luciana Vietti married winemaker and art connoisseur Alfredo Currado.

This February, we welcome Elena Penna Currado of Vietti.  Recognized as one the very finest Italian wine labels, the estate has gradually grown over the course of time. Today the vineyards include some of the most highly-prized terroirs within the Barolo winegrowing area.

Tenute Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Grésy includes four wineries located in the Langhe and Monferrato, places chosen for the production of the greatest Piedmontese wines. Jeffrey Chilcott, Cellar Master of Marchesy di Gresy, will be joining us.   Please call Spinasse (206) 251-7673 for reservations
