## Summary

A Freisa from Santo Stefano Belbo, named Brusaia, 'burnt', after the earth it grows in. Steel-aged, 14.5% alcohol, 6 g/l total acidity.

## Tasting notes

Deep ruby red with violet reflections. Complex, typically fruity, persistent and vinous nose with some vegetal hints. Dry, very tannic and astringent palate with a distinctive acidity.

## Food pairings

Traditional Piedmontese cooking; its acidity and tannin suit fatty dishes and leave the palate clean.
