Description

The Barolo DOCG produced by Seghesio is an authentic example of Piedmontese winemaking excellence, fully expressing the typicality and complexity of Nebbiolo. Born from the lush vineyards located in the prestigious Barolo area, this wine represents a true icon of the territory.

The Seghesio Barolo DOCG is distinguished by its intense garnet red color, which heralds the aromatic complexity and the robust structure typical of Nebbiolo. On the nose, it offers an intoxicating and varied bouquet, where fragrances of ripe red fruit, such as cherries and plums, intertwine with more evolved and spicy notes of tobacco, leather, and dark chocolate.

On the palate, the wine is extremely elegant and well-structured. The impact is vigorous, yet balanced, with robust but silky tannins and a freshness that ensures a long finish. The aromas of red fruits blend with nuances of spices and wet earth, creating a deep and memorable taste experience.

Aged in oak barrels for at least 24 months, this Barolo expresses the best potential for aging, being able to evolve and improve for many years in the cellar. An ideal accompaniment for rich and structured dishes, such as braised red meats, game, and aged cheeses, the Barolo DOCG Seghesio is destined to satisfy the palate of the most demanding wine lovers.

A prestigious addition to any wine collection, the Barolo from Seghesio is more than just a beverage: it is a celebration of Italian winemaking heritage and the passion that the Seghesio winery dedicates to the creation of timeless wines.

Winery history

The Seghesio-branded bottle first appeared in the late 1980s: brothers Aldo and Riccardo began bottling under the Fratelli Seghesio label, and the winery is now run by Riccardo together with his nieces and nephews Michela, Sandro and Marco. The business retains a family character and remains focused on the local appellations of the Langhe.

Production philosophy

The estate aims to produce wines that reflect the terroir and the characteristics of the grapes, balancing tradition with modern cellar practices to showcase the local character.

Terroir and vineyards

Production is concentrated in the Castelletto cru in Monforte d'Alba. The soils include calcareous formations and marls; some vineyards are located at around 350 m elevation with favourable exposures that contribute to the aromatic balance of the Nebbiolo destined for Barolo.

Awards and recognitions

Some of the estate's wines have been reviewed and rated by international magazines and guides: for example, Decanter awarded 91 points to the Vigneto La Villa bottling in a tasting. Other scores and mentions appear on retailers and specialized guides.
