Winery Info
CA’ DEL PRETE
Freisa has always been cultivated on our hills. Our ancestors first of all understood the very high potential that linking this vine to this micro territory would have. The soils of Pino d'Asti and the adjacent hills have always been characterized by a strong presence of fossil residues testifying to their past as seabeds. Limestone, sand and springs of silt and clay scattered here and there. A unique microclimate contributes to making this territory special for Freisa. Mild in winter and breezy in summer. Enough to make the cultivation of olive trees possible and still active. This is precisely why we have always found Freisa grown in the best plots. Leaving the other vines at the bottom of the valley and on the mid-ridges. Barbera, Malvasia and in some cases Nebbiolo.
