Freisa d'Asti 2022

750ml

Sale price$26.00

Nestled among the hills of Nizza Monferrato, Frasca makes this delightful red wine from Freisa grapes, one of the oldest varietals in Piedmont and a distant cousin to Nebbiolo. The grapes are delicately pressed with 30% whole bunches and then aged in oak barrels for 4 months and then an additional 12 months in bottle. The result is an intensely fruity wine with aromas of raspberry and roses that evolve into dark fruits, purple florals, and slight bramble notes on the palate. Perfect for the holidays or alongside pizza, meat ragu, mushroom risotto, roasted lamb, and hearty vegetarian fare. The label depicts the magpie, faithful and free-flying, which holds a special place in the hearts of Piedmontese winegrowers as a celebration of their farms and inhabitants.

Frasca

The Frasca family's love of Piemonte and its world-renowned wines was the inspiration to return to Italy with the desire to produce elegant, terroir-expressive wine in Nizza Monferrato. An introduction to winemaker Matteo Gerbi was the spark that turned this vision into reality. Born in Asti, Matteo’s vast experience in prestigious Langhe wineries helped forge a clear path, sharing the family’s journey from the very first steps. Today, Matteo leads a passionate team from the vineyards to the cellar, following the original inspiration with eyes to the future. The Frasca winery consists of 22 hectares of vineyards, embracing the municipalities of Nizza Monferrato, Agliano Terme and Moasca, where they have become celebrated for their beautiful expressions of Barbera, Freisa, Grignolino, Riesling and Arneis.
