I'll drink to that where we get behind the scenes of the beverage business.

I'm Levy Dalton.

I'm Erin Scala and here's our show today. Oh, Recently it was announced that the Vieti winery was sold to the Cross family of Iowa

and having recently spoke with Luca Corrado at Vietti in a previous interview

I was rather surprised so I asked Luca Corrado to return to the show to speak to me

about the recent sale of Vietti and what the motivations may have been behind the scenes.

Luca Corrado of Vieti back on the show, hello sir, how are you?

Chiao, chow, chow very well.

Very nice to see you.

Me too.

It's always a pleasure to see you. Me too. It's always a pleasure to see you. How you feeling? You okay? No, yes, much better. I had just a one week of big thunderstormstorm you know and then now is a much better you know and now I

start to work again in my vineyard and to think about the real thing that I want to do and I must do and I'm back on board on the decision

that I took before.

So the news is that the Vieti winery was sold. That's the rumor or the published reports, but what has actually happened since the last time we spoke, which wasn't that long ago, but I feel like a lot has changed in that period.

This was a decision that we taught that was fantastic for the family, for us, for the future of the brand.

And I think we had these opportunity to you know to make a VETT stable for the future generation and to make better wine and to preserve the heritage of our family.

So this is the reason, you know, why we did.

Because I feel like in the region when people complain what they're complaining about is that the

those are the things that are being broken the heritage and the family connection and the future

generation prospect.

Sure but you know here and every every time if you don't take any decision everybody don't say anything but if you take a decision and a step you always divide the world into part.

Who agree? He who doesn't agree? But I think you know that I heard in these days
