DOC of the Asti hills in the Monferrato, Piedmont. Freisa is the exclusive flagship red (≥90%, a genetic cousin of Nebbiolo confirmed by DNA, mentioned since the 16th century): ruby-garnet colour, signature aromas of raspberry, red cherry, dried rose and violet, fine spices, characteristic fresh and lightly tannic finish. Available dry, semi-sweet, frizzante or spumante. A Piedmontese gastronomic tradition, best served chilled with charcuterie.
Austere, noble reds, pale in colour and quick to turn garnet, with powerful tannins and high acidity, showing aromas of sour cherry, faded rose, tar, white truffle, leather and balsamic notes with age. Outstanding ageing potential. Absolute star of Piedmont with Barolo DOCG and Barbaresco DOCG, also in Roero, Gattinara, Ghemme and Valtellina (Chiavennasca). A late-ripening Italian variety among the world's greatest.
