The Seggio is the largest river in the municipality of Castagneto Carducci. It originates in the metalliferous hills of Sassetta, an area already known to the Etruscans, with extremely rich subsoil deposits of iron ore. It flows through the entire Bolgheri area, and its alluvial debris enriches the characteristic clay soils with precious pebbles, ensuring excellent drainage. This Bolgheri Rosso is produced with typical grape varieties, carefully harvested and vinified to ensure depth and concentration, as well as great freshness and drinkability.
