The story
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 recognition
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.
