Seghesio Family Vineyards Chianti Station Vineyard Sangiovese 2023, Alexander Valley, California
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Red fruits on the nose with earth, spices, chocolate notes and herbs.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with cherries, red currants, earth, light wood, spices, espresso, herbs, green vegetables and peppercorn.
Short finish with grippy tannins and tart cranberries.
This is an interesting take on a Chianti from Alexander Valley. Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, but a good food wine right now.
Showing nice complexity, but still a little grippy, once it opens up.
Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years and see how it evolves.
Will pair nicely with Pizza, or with Pasta with red sauce.
A field blend of Sangiovese with a touch of Canaiolo Nero, Malvasia, and Trebbiano. Aged in used French oak barrels for 17 months. A tiny production of only 1,300 bottles.
