Seghesio Zinfandel Sonoma 750ml

About the Producer: Seghesio Family Vineyards

Seghesio Family Vineyards is a wine producer based in Sonoma Valley, California. It is best known for its wines produced from the Zinfandel grape variety. The property was founded in 1895 on the original 53-hectare (130-acre) Home Ranch vineyards. The property was expanded in the mid-20th century with vineyards that previously sold fruit in Segesio. In the early 1980s, Healdsberg Segesio was a wholesaler, but was converted to premium wines when Ted Segesio joined the family business. In 2014, the company added 10 hectares (24 acres) of Rancho Montafi vineyards in the Russo Valley, about half of which were planted in 1916. As a result, the total area of ​​the Segesio property increased to 160 hectares (400 acres) with another 10 hectares being contracted to Rockpile. A small part of the portfolio belongs to historic vineyards from other producers. Segesio produces an extensive range of Zinfandel wines, most notably Home Ranch cuvées and the San Lorenzo vineyards of the Alexandra Valley. Block 8 comes from a younger block in the San Lorenzo vineyard. There are several other manifestations of this variety from several other vineyards, including one that peaks high in the Mayakamas Mountains and one that falls under the Rockpile AVA. Estate produces several other Italian-style red wines. These include three wines made from Sangiovese, as well as Barbera, Aglianico and Defiant, a blend of Aglianico, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. There are also three white varietal wines from Pinot Grigio, Vermentino and Arneis.
