This structured and balanced wine reflects the authentic expression of the valley's terroir with beautiful freshness and a silky texture. 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, aromas of dried sage, blackberry pie, and dark chocolate cherry. On the palate, a symphony of rich and indulgent flavors mingles with velvety, juicy tannins, leading to a long, harmonious, and balanced finish. It pairs perfectly with honey and spicy mustard glazed pork ribs or a blue cheese, fig, and toasted pecan pizza. Cellaring potential of 10 years and more.

The Sonoma Valley is an American wine region often seen as the cradle of Californian winemaking. The valley is the driest part of Sonoma County thanks to the shelter of the mountains. The region is regarded as the source of the finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in Northern California, which benefit from the warm, sunny climate.
