Langhe, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
This is a new grape variety for me from Langhe.
Reddish in color with a purplish hue.
Showing strawberries, raspberries, tart cranberries, light herbs, earth and dark chocolates.
Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with mild complexity.
Tangy finish with fine grained tannins.
A very interesting dry red from Langhe. Feels like Nebbiolo.
100% Freisa grapes were aged for 9 months in mostly large Slavonian oak barrels.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
89 points.
$60.

Good stuff. Deep fruit- plum, blackcurrant, smoke, tobacco. Great mouthfeel and intensity. Not hugely complex

This was great. Not the nobelist variety but this wine is structured and complex. Truly enjoyable. Medium tannin, moderate acidity. Not super aromatic, but really a nice wine by any measure and perhaps the most serious Freisa I've tried.

Beautiful minerality. Tomato skin, orange peel, lemon zest, tea leaves, grape stems, and thyme. Elevated acidity and body (14.5%). Diminished tannins.
