Extremely approachable for Freisa. Luca finds a way to have the aromatics dance out of the glass. Fresh fruit, red and blue, with a hint of mint. Secondary earth notes on the palate do not take away from the youthfulness of this wine. tannic structures and acid are prevalent on a long pleasing finish.

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.

From Our Sommeliers
“This is what I want to be drinking alongside a wood fire pizza margherita on a nice fall or spring evening. I'd give it a touch of a chill, and the fruity and savory notes would play so beautifully with the marinara and charred bits on the pizza crust. This wine is so versatile it could accompany any dish at your Thanksgiving dinner; although I'd go straight for turkey and cranberry sauce with this wine!“ - Victoria Love
