Nice dark berries and langhe fruit, earth. A bit lighter body and more approachable than mascarello and less floral and feminine than borgogno but more length for sure than cavallotto. :)

First time with Freisa. At 14.5 ABV it was a bit darker and heavier than I was expecting, based on what I've read about this grape. It was still a really good bottle, though, with flavors of red and black fruit, and some clove too. Would like to try this grape again from a different producer. 100% Freisa. 6/5/23.

Very light for grape. Medium body. Good with any Italian food.

Authentic Piedmont tannins and acids, the aroma could be little more alive and detailed but they will probably show up later. Such a contrast to empty and vapid New Word Reds.
