WINE DESCRIPTION
Seghesio Chianti Station is a remarkable red wine crafted from a historic vineyard nestled in California's Alexander Valley. Planted in 1910, this vineyard spans a mere acre and a half and is home to four rare Sangiovese heirloom clones, preserved by the Seghesio family. These clones, unique to this vineyard and extinct elsewhere, lend distinctive character to the wine. Additionally, traditional Tuscan field blend varieties like Canaiolo Nero, Malvasia, and Trebbiano contribute further complexity. The winemaking process honors this heritage, with meticulous attention to detail in vineyard management and a commitment to sustainable practices. The resulting wine boasts a rich tapestry of flavors, combining the elegance of Sangiovese with nuances of the Mediterranean varieties, culminating in a balanced and expressive style that showcases the best of Alexander Valley's terroir. Seghesio Chianti Station stands as a testament to the Seghesio family's dedication to preserving viticultural history while producing wines of exceptional quality and character.
