Delicious #cabfranc #cabernetfranc from #toscana hand harvested. Delicate, less Mediterranean than I expected and actually more like a Loire style. — 3 years ago
Could be better than the 16, too early to tell. Off the truck drinking again. Trying to find it is the difficult part.
Winery notes,
This wine, full of character, comes from selected individual vineyards in the location Giatl, stocked with vines grafted to slow growing rootstock and trained on wire trellises (Guyot). This extraordinary Pinot Grigio flourishes under outstanding climatic conditions on a stony, sandy and extremely chalky soil in the valley floor around the center of Cortina s.s.d.v. The favourable location of the vineyards, ideal sunshine, and the good ventilation of the berries assures the excellent quality of the grapes of this varietal, that is also a representative of the Burgundy family.
Yield per hectare: 45 hl.
Vinification: The grapes are pressed and the stems are removed in the pneumatic tank press. Before being pressed, a short cold maceration takes place in order to enhance the fruitiness of the wine. Afterwards, the grapes are gently pressed and clarified through the natural settling of sediments. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in small casks of French oak in which this particular wine acquires complexity through its twelvemonth aging and ripening on the yeast. After bottling, several further months of aging takes place for completion before this unique white wine, furnished with its ultramodern bottle, goes on sale.

I like better than their old vine — 9 months ago
Tycker det är roligt att ge otrendiga druvor som zinfandel en chans ibland. Det här var nog bästa exemplet av druvan jag druckit. Vingården planterades 1972 med enbart zin (många andra i Sonoma är field blends) och vingårdsarbetet är mkt seriöst. Nästan pinot-lik upplevelse. Väldigt elegant! Rosor, kryddor, örter. Bra tannin och syra. — 3 years ago

This is a classically styled California Zin made from centurion old vines. Blackberry, fruit preserves, baking spice, sun dried tomatoes, kirsch, balsamic. Despite that dark and deep tones it is fairly balanced and more polished than its peers. Seghesio is a great producer and this is their flagship wine but if I had to choose I’d recommend their Cortina vineyard over this. — 2 years ago
A pleasant blend of Cab Sauv, Syrah and Malbec. The Cab Sauv and Malbec lend the flavors of berry and plum; the Syrah adds some spiciness. Quite enjoyable! — 3 years ago
