Description
Fratelli Seghesio has a history rooted in the Monforte d'Alba region of Piedmont, Italy, which began in 1964 when Ettore Seghesio bought the land and started planting vineyards. His sons, Aldo and Riccardo, took over the estate in the 1980s and released their first Barolo under the Azienda Agricola Fratelli Seghesio label in 1988, officially establishing the family-run winery. Riccardo took the helm of the estate after Aldo’s sudden passing in 2010. Today, Aldo’s two sons, Sandro and Marco, and his daughter, Michela, now work alongside their uncle in all aspects of the business. From their flagship Barolo bottlings to the elegant Barbera and Dolcetto, each bottle encapsulates the spirit of Monforte d’Alba, showcasing the deep expression of fruit-meets-terroir that defines this esteemed winegrowing region. This bottling is 100% Barbera from 20-30-year-old, organically farmed vines. Traditional fermentation on the skins for 5–6 days. Maturation in stainless steel for 10 months. The result is an approachable, medium-bodied red, packed with intense aromas and flavors of ripe red cherry and plum, with hints of spice and subtle vanilla notes. Easy drinking with lively acidity, a round, supple texture, and a richly fruited finish.
