Seghesio Nebbiolo
Summary Seghesio Nebbiolo (Langhe Nebbiolo DOC) is a classic, approachable expression of Nebbiolo from the historic Fratelli Seghesio estate in the Langhe region of Piedmont, Italy. Produced by the Seghesio family (with roots dating back to the early 20th century), it's made from hand-harvested Nebbiolo grapes grown on clay and calcareous marl soils at around 350 meters elevation. Aged primarily in stainless steel (with some vintages seeing brief barrique influence), it highlights the grape's fresh, fruity side—elegant, floral, and structured without the intensity of Barolo or Barbaresco. Vibrant and food-friendly, it's perfect with risotto, truffles, game, lighter red meats, or aged cheeses. Drink young for brightness or cellar 5-8 years.
