    Victoria Cece interviews Michela Adriano | The Next Generation

    Welcome to Episode 1921 in which host Victoria Cece  interviews Michela Adriano this week on The Next Generation.

    More about today’s guest
    Michela Adriano was born in 1995 in Alba, the capital of Langhe, and grew up in the middle of these charming hills. Raised within the Adriano family, she absorbed a profound passion for winemaking and absorbed the values associated with the wines crafted by the family. Michela represents the third generation of this family heritage. Her grandparents initiated this adventure by selling grapes, while her father, Vittorio, and uncle, Marco, ventured into making their first bottle of wine in 1994. Michela joined the family winery in 2014, marking her dedication to continuing the family tradition. Her mission now is to honor the sacrifices her family made to establish this vineyard, craft exceptional wines, and cherish the rich history and hard work that have shaped this enchanting and magical wine region.

Podcast

Great interviews!!
You should talk about other opportunities in the wine industry besides winemakers.
I handle the TTB international side and it can be a challenge and never dull

Laytony10 ,

Love Monty’s personality and of course Italian Wine

Monty’s personality is fantastic. Funny, very knowledgeable. He’s very witty with the all winemakers or owners of the vineyard that makes the interview so engaging. This is fantastic listen! If you love wine and like a little humor on a dry topic ;) you will absolutely love this, especially if you love Italian wine!

Palm Springs Sommelier ,

Insightful and entertaining

Informative and nuanced, Monty approaches each interview with a keen interest in showcasing the best producers that articulate the special qualities of each regional wine found throughout Italy. Truly unique and a must listen for anyone interested in furthering their Italian wine knowledge.
