Story In 2004, Freisa was discovered to be the closest relative to Nebbiolo, thus explaining the deep bond this variety has with Piemonte and its people. With a noble profile and similar characteristics to the Nebbiolo, we have been bottling a dry Langhe DOC Freisa ever since 1989. Kyé means ‘who is?’ and represents the surprise for this indigenous and forgotten grape.
Origin Estate vineyards, the oldest located in San Ponzio, on the lower west border of Bricco delle Viole
Harvest Freisa is one of the latest varietals to be picked, due to its ripening pattern. Grapes are sorted manually three times: directly on the vine, as whole clusters on the sorting tables, and lastly as single berries after destemming.
Wine making Fermentation lasts around 15 to 25 days in vertical vats, and is followed by spontaneous malolactic fermentation.
Aging 26 months, mostly in large oak casks.
Allergens Contains sulphites
