Aged for 9 months in new American oak barrels (7%) and used French oak barrels (93%). pH 3.8, total acidity 5.52 g/L. Seghesio Family Vineyards, founded in 1895 by Edoardo Seghesio, a Piedmontese immigrant, is a symbol of Californian winemaking excellence. With 160 hectares of vines spread across Alexander Valley, Russian River Valley, and Dry Creek Valley, the estate has built its reputation around Zinfandel, thanks to historic plots planted over 90 years ago. Across four generations, the Seghesio family combines tradition and innovation, celebrating the art of living at the crossroads of gastronomy and conviviality.
On the nose, blackberries, plums, and dried figs, with subtle nuances of spices mingled with a touch of vanilla. On the palate, a round and intense attack, with a beautiful tannic structure and a slightly velvety texture. It pairs perfectly with a grilled prime rib with pepper sauce or a roasted duck breast with red berries. Cellaring potential of 10 years and more.

Sonoma Valley is an American wine region often recognized as the cradle of California viticulture. The valley is the driest part of Sonoma County due to the shelter provided by the mountains. The region is considered the source of Northern California's finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines that benefit from the warm, sunny climate.
