Freisa d'Asti Superiore aged at least 12 months in 500-litre oak and bottled unfiltered. Part of the family's Radici e Filari line.

## Tasting notes

Ruby red tending to pomegranate. Very pleasant taste, still tannic but velvety, soft and round. Can be served decanted or with its sediment, in the peasant tradition.
