About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from estate vineyards in the municipality of Castiglione Falletto, in the province of Cuneo.

Grapes

100% Freisa.

Vinification

Selected estate-grown grapes undergo a traditional fermentation lasting 6–7 days, with an emerged cap and controlled temperature.

Ageing

The wine matures for several months in medium-capacity oak casks, with the precise period adjusted to the vintage. Alternatively, it may be stabilized in an inert vessel. Release takes place two years after harvest.

Tasting profile

Deep ruby red. The aroma is characteristic and spicy. The palate is dry and characteristic, with good body and pronounced tannins.

Serving and pairing

Serve at approximately 18 °C. Pair with cured meats, assorted starters, pasta and other first courses, cheeses, and ethnic or spicy cuisine. The anticipated lifespan is 8–15 years. Store the bottle horizontally, protected from light and temperature fluctuations.

Technical data

Harvest begins in early October. The wine is presented in an Albeisa bottle.
