The winery was established in 1895 when Italian immigrant Edoardo Seghesio planted his first Zinfandel vines in what is now Seghesio’s ‘Home Ranch’ vineyard in Alexander Valley. Edoardo and his wife Angela continued growing vines during the Prohibition years, becoming the only winery in the region to survive that era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeghesio’s reputation for world-class Zinfandel was cemented under the guidance of third-generation Pete Seghesio and his cousin Ted Seghesio in the 1980s. Owned by Crimson Wine Group since 2011 (who also own Pine Ridge in Napa Valley), today Seghesio remains focused on its family roots, with Ted's nephew Ned Neumiller in charge of viticulture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the last ten years, Ned has implemented a regenerative farming revolution that’s given many of their oldest vineyards a new lease of life. His work was recognised early on when he was awarded the honour of “Sonoma County’s Outstanding Young Person in Agriculture\" in 2018. From there, he has continued to innovate, eradicating the use of pesticides and herbicides, investing in equipment to make compost teas, and allowing the vines to naturally regulate thanks to optimally planted cover crops, which are intermittently crimped during the growing season. Seghesio owns 120 hectares of regeneratively farmed vineyards across several renowned appellations in Sonoma, including Dry Creek Valley and Alexander Valley. In addition to these outstanding sites, they have long-standing relationships with local growers from both Sonoma and Mendocino counties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAndy Robinson, who worked alongside Ted in the cellar for almost 20 years, is now Head Winemaker. Italian consultant winemaker Alberto Antonini has also helped improve the quality of the wines, and his influence can be seen in the juicy, approachable style of Zinfandel that has become Seghesio’s hallmark.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"seghesio-sonoma-county-zinfandel","title":"Seghesio Sonoma County Zinfandel 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Seghesio Sonoma County Zinfandel is a masterful expression of what happens when old-world Italian sensibilities meet the remarkable potential of Sonoma’s finest hillsides. Sourced from historic family vineyards in the Alexander and Dry Creek Valleys, this is a soulful and poised red that prioritises balance and freshness over sheer ripeness. On the first sip, you’ll find a vibrant core of briary fruit - think wild blackberries and juicy black plums picked straight from the hedgerow - all backed up by a refreshing lift that keeps the palate clean and energised. It finishes with a sophisticated crack of black pepper and a hint of savoury spice, making it an exceptional partner for the dinner table. Whether you are firing up the barbecue for high-quality burgers or sitting down to a traditional Sunday roast with all the trimmings, this is a bold, polished bottle that brings a touch of Californian sunshine to the glass while remaining remarkably composed. It is unpretentious, incredibly easy to enjoy, and serves as a timely reminder of why Seghesio remains the definitive benchmark for the region.
