Red
Langhe Freisa
By G. B. Burlotto, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
Freisa fermented in open vats and aged in large French oak casks.
Tasting notes
In the chorus of Langa reds, hers is the most baritone, deepest voice. Gruff, a loquacious companion at the table, with a breath so ardent, material so dark and flavor so vigorous that it asks for the most intense dishes.
