Renzo Seghesio's family has been producing premium red wines in Monforte d'Alba for over a century, and Renzo has continued this tradition with a focus on exceptional quality. Originally from the Sant'Anna district, the Seghesio family relocated to the town centre in 1968. This shift marked a turning point, as they transitioned from grape growers to full-fledged winemakers.
Renzo's talents extend far beyond the winery. He studied winemaking in Alba and holds a surprising degree in biology from the University of Turin. His diverse skillset even includes cartography, and he served a term as the former mayor of Monforte d'Alba.
Despite his various accomplishments, Renzo's true passion lies in the vineyard. He meticulously manages his family's holdings, with a particular focus on the famed Pajana della Ginestra vineyard in Monforte d'Alba. Since the 1960s, Renzo has significantly expanded his winery's reach. Production now exceeds 70,000 bottles annually, sourced from over 14 hectares of vineyards. He has also acquired land in La Morra and the Roero appellation, allowing him to experiment with grape varietals like Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Arneis.
