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.
Aromatic, tannic reds with a bright ruby robe, firm tannins and high acidity, with intense aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, rose, violet, spice and slightly bitter notes on the finish. Often made as frizzante (lightly sparkling) and sometimes sweet, rarely as still dry reds for ageing. Star of Piedmontese Freisa d'Asti DOC and Freisa di Chieri DOC around Turin. Autochthonous Piedmontese variety, genetically related to Nebbiolo.
