Freisa is just everything the Covid world needs. Granny’s red strawberry candies, cloves, bing cherries, and sun baked bricks.

Powerful aromatics. Herbs, red fruits, dried flower petals. The palate is more broad shouldered and intense. Gripping tannins. Ageworthy, or a great match for rib eye now.

Beautiful red and black fruit with a hint of herbs. Nice tannin and acidity to give it structure.

Been lucky to have plenty of this in '16. Such an intense wet and earthy woodsiness with dried figs and cranberry.

Not as delicious as borgogno and G. Mascarello freisa. Had nice floral and liquorish aromatics tho but very little depth. Ended short on palate but Still enjoyable for price

Served with antipasti course. Racy acidity, slight bitterness. Still not the Freisa of my dreams, but quite nice.

Nice everyday wine from an older and less common grape. Better day 2. Aromatic with strawberries and candied cherries. Slightly tart on opening but smooth day 2. Raspberry, strawberry, clove and some mineral. Moderate finish.
