Seghesio   Piedmont, Italy  
 
 
 
  "Aldo and Riccardo focus on terroir, grape variety and ripening times in order to interpret the vintage to best effect, ensuring quality and typicity."

Brothers Aldo and Riccardo Seghesio began bottling their wine from their ten-hectares in the La Villa cru in the township of Monforte in 1988.  Seghesio’s Barolo is concentrated, big and muscular with pure Nebbiolo aromas and velvety texture. The estate is no-longer the secret of those in-the-know, ever since the 2004 vintage received 95 points from the Wine Spectator. Their Dolcettos and Barberas are deep, concentrated and bursting with fruit offering great value. The 2006 Barbera received 91 points from Tanzer!

The estate takes part in the 2078/92 EU regulation. Such regulation aims to encourage low-environmental-impact methods and to improve the preservation of natural resources in rural areas through agricultural and environmental measures. Integrated insect and disease control is applied (a specialized agronomist consults for the estate).
Control treatments are carried out only when absolutely necessary. Sulfur- and copper-based products are mainly used. No insecticides are used. Natural cover crops (grass cover) are left in the rows between the vines. The grass is mowed and the soil is tilled in winter.
Extremely careful doses of SO2 are used in wines.
