Description

Freisa d'Asti is one of the wines that has made the history of Monferrato. Since the beginning of the 16th century, it was considered a 'first-rate grape' that could fetch a price even double that of 'ordinary grapes'... Even then, it had all the characteristics to become a wine symbol of this noble territory, which research by the University of Turin has confirmed through genetic analysis: a direct descent relationship between the Freisa and Nebbiolo vines. Age it in your cellar and if you enjoy roast lamb or a good matured Piedmontese cheese, you will enjoy a unique experience.
