Renzo Seghesio
This estate has 14 ha of vines and produce ca 80.000 bottles per year. Federico, which I met earlier this year in Stockholm, took great care of me and poured these beautiful wines.

I also had the opportunity to taste the wines below from barrel. I didn´t take any notes, I was to busy enjoying the wines and the conversation with Federico, but needless to say, these are some gorgeous wines, reflecting the vintages. I´m looking forward to taste these from bottles down the line.
