Dark, with blackberry, purple plum and blueberry flavors. Firms up on the finish, as earth and iron notes peek through. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2024 through 2038. 6,000 cases made, 800 cases imported.

Made from a blend of 50% Merlot, 20% each Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot, the 2019 Il Seggio is generous with its perfume of sweet blue fruits, purple flowers, and eucalyptus. It is full-bodied, with ripe tannins and fresh acidity that help to define its structure and lift it off the palate, which speaks to the somewhat more direct nature of the vintage. Offering notes of red plum, dried earth, and fresh herbs, this is a lovely, fresh wine to drink 2023-2030.

The 2019 Bolgheri Il Seggio is a very pretty, mid- weight wine. Cabernet Franc aromatics lend lovely nuance to this Merlot-based blend. Dark fruit, herbs, leather, spice and kiss of French oak linger nicely.
