Langhe DOC Freisa 2015

£17.25

Freisa is a wine which was described for the first time in 1606 by Giovanni Battista Croce, Duke Savoia’s jeweller and maître. At the time it was mainly known as wine of medicinal tincture. Over the years, scientific studies pointed out the close relationship between Freisa and Nebbiolo whose anthocyanin inheritance is a more than 85% match. The soil in which our Langhe Freisa is cultivated, enables it to express its great essence. This is an outgoing and refined wine, for those who have an expert and exacting palate.

 

Its Piedmontese origins and link with Nebbiolo are the foundation of this work of art called Langhe Freisa.

 

Bright red with garnet hues. A rich nose with notes of strawberry, cherry, and hints of raspberry and cloves. On the palate it is dry, and well-rounded. A beautiful blend of fruit, notable and well-structured tannins, and an elegant bitterness leaving a persistent finish. A pleasantly complex wine which distinguishes itself from the others and is suitable for aging.
