Seghesio Interview

Goodtaste.tv

Fans of big reds are in for a real treat! The Zinfandel is a premium wine that's consistently rated by Wine Spectator magazine as a Top 100 Wine in all of the World! Some of the most famous areas for planting and harvesting grapes (Dry Creek, Alexander Valley) make for Zinfandels with a richer concentration, translating to a finished product that has more vibrance, mineral composition and structure to it. Or just a fuller taste!

Up until the 1950′s, most vineyards were head pruned in California. Zinfandel was the dominate choice for planters in Napa Valley and Sonoma. In fact, around 90% used this 'boss' grape because of it's softer texture which compliments the Spring time soil -- Wow, 90%! Since 1895, Seghesio Family Vineyards have followed suit and really delivered in their version of this historic vino.
