Tasting Notes
If you’re skeptical about the age of this wine you shouldn’t be. It’s gone the distance… and then some.
100% freisa from Piedmont in Italy. It’s bold and full bodied yet so well integrated from it’s time spent in bottle. The tannins are present but softened and the acidity much the same. Leather, wood, dried herbs, mushroom, earth and a dark fruited backing. It’s a beauty! Pair with slow cooked lamb. - Chris L
Arguably Italy’s most important fine wine region, Piedmont is synonymous with Nebbiolo, Barolo, and Barbaresco. It’s also home to a wide array of other compelling reds and whites that range from the austere to the juicy and joyful.
LOCATION:
Northwest Italy, bordering France and Switzerland, with the Alps to the north and the Apennines to the south.
TERROIR:
Rolling hills and foggy mornings define Langhe and Roero. Soils are mostly calcareous marl with sandy or clay-rich layers depending on the site. Continental climate with cold winters and warm summers.
VARIETIES:
Nebbiolo is king, producing powerful, tannic reds. Barbera and Dolcetto round out the red trio. For whites, look to Arneis, Cortese (Gavi), and Timorasso. Moscato is important in the Asti area.
