This summer I was lucky enough to work at Vietti Winery, in Piemonte, Italy. I would spend my mornings in the vineyard, doing green harvest. Green harvest is when you reduce the amount of clusters per vine, to help maximize the quality if the cluster and the grapes. When I was not working the in vineyard, I helped out during wine visits and tastings. It was such an amazing experience. Luca and Elena "Vietti" are the most wonderful people, with an energy that is out of this world. And their passion for their wine is contagious.
