Smoky-ripe black cherry and violets with acid and tannin galore. Serve chilled with charcuterie and cheese, this could be a Piemontese Cru Beaujolais stand-in. The Vajra version is dry and weighs in at 14% ABV. Freisa has a parent-offspring relationship with Nebbiolo... so for some of us, things couldn’t get much better. Shocked (!!!) that this is a 2015 wine; hard to imagine how hard you’d get slapped with a more recent vintage. Eataly.
