Freisa

The Freisa is a hidden gem among the vineyards of Piedmont, a red variety with roots dating back centuries, enriching the region's winemaking tradition with its unique personality and distinctive nuances. Originally from the hills of Turin and the Langhe, this wine has won over a growing number of enthusiasts thanks to its intriguing aromatic profile and its ability to adapt to different winemaking interpretations.

The Freisa grape is closely linked to Piedmont's agricultural history, with references dating back to the 16th century. Its ability to thrive on hilly and clayey soils has contributed to its spread throughout the region's vineyards, where it is cultivated with care and dedication. The Freisa stands out for its versatility, allowing for the production of dry, semi-dry, and sparkling wines, each expressing a different nuance of its complex personality.

The Freisa grapes are characterized by their intense ruby red color and an aromatic bouquet that ranges from notes of red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, to floral nuances of rose and violet. The complexity of the aromatic profile is further enriched by spicy hints and a light herbal note that gives the wine a distinctive character.

In the production of Freisa, traditional fermentation in steel or wood is often used, depending on the desired style. The dry wines express a medium body, with lively tannins and balanced acidity, making them ideal for pairing with typical Piedmontese dishes, such as bagna càuda or local cured meats. The sparkling Freisa wines, on the other hand, offer a fresh and lively tasting experience, perfect for an aperitif or to accompany light appetizers.

From an organoleptic point of view, the Freisa impresses with its harmonious structure and lasting taste. The flavor is characterized by ripe red fruit, with a slight bitter note on the finish that invites another sip. This wine manages to combine tradition with a touch of modernity, making it a fascinating choice for both novices and experienced connoisseurs.
