Selling wine at major retailers is great for profit margins, but if you’re sold in the grocery store, can your wines also be sold on the wine lists of top restaurants? This session will show the following: 1. Marketing spend focused on luxury has allowed Champagne brands to sell both at major retailers and be on the lists of top restaurants. 2. Price is not enough to ensure a wine can exist in both spaces. 3. For the most part in America, unless you have a large marketing budget you have to choose, grocery or the restaurant, you can’t have both.

Welcome to Episode 1671; part of our Italian wine interview series set in Bologna! Today’s interview features Simone Cane of Vietti Stevie Kim and her team traveled to the Bologna Slow Wine Fair in March 2023. There they conducted dozens of interviews with some of Italy's most inspiring producers. Join the fun every Thursday afternoon! Tune-in each Thursday as we bring you the great interviews that unfolded over the course of 3 days. More about today’s winery: In 1917, returning after many years from living in the United States, Mario Vietti, Carlo’s son, took the reins of the company, transforming it into a winery suitable for the production of high-quality wines. At the end of the 1950s, Alfredo Currado, husband of Luciana Vietti, oenologist and art lover, put into relation the great experience of the Vietti family with new intuitions, capable of intertwining wine knowledge with art and culture. Beginning of 2023, Luca Currado Vietti, together with his wife Elena, departed from the Winery. The Heritage is taken over by the Krause Family, already owner of the Cellar since 2016 and standard-bearer of the new future of the Vietti brand. As the seasons progressed, the company also grew and the focus on improvement soon became a real distinctive style of the winery. Just like the selection and care in the vineyard. Today, Vietti counts, within its heritage, some of the finest and most representative vineyards of the Barolo and Barbaresco areas. As in the past, Vietti maintains those founding values, the same that animated Carlo Vietti at the beginning, and all his successors then. It looks towards the future with even more promising and stimulating prospects. Each wine is the result of artisanal work and the profound understanding and interpretation of each individual terroir. Vietti is thus the place where the intelligence of the hands, applied in the vineyard and the cellar, meets the vision.

The company was the first to produce a Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine back in the 1940s thanks to the experiments and vision of its founder, Marquis Mario Incisa della Rocchetta. The choice of this variety and the use of barriques for aging laid the foundations for the "Bolgheri" model. The company is the only one to have vineyards suitable for claiming DOC Bolgheri Sassicaia, a typology born as a sub-area of ​​the Bolgheri DOC already in 1994 and converted to an autonomous DOC in December 2013. The company's wine par excellence is Sassicaia, the whose first vintage on the market dates back to 1968.
