This wasn’t just a meal; it was a celebration of Piedmontese winemaking excellence, exceptional cuisine, and the Italian art of far niente – the sweet, deliberate practice of doing nothing but fully savouring the present moment. We tasted some wines from the vintage 2024.

A wine that offers a more immediate interpretation alongside the more structured expressions of Nebbiolo, while remaining deeply connected to the grape’s identity. The name Seshen derives from the ancient Egyptian word for the lotus flower, a symbol of rebirth, creation and transformation. It is a fitting reference to the idea behind this wine: exploring every potential expression of Nebbiolo and guiding it towards new forms without altering its intrinsic character.
