Terre dei Santi Freisa d'Asti

The estate's still Freisa d'Asti, matured in concrete.

Tasting notes

Intense ruby. Winey, floral and fruity, recalling rose and raspberry. Decidedly dry with good body and a distinctive tannin that leaves a pleasantly bitter finish.

Pairs well with

Rich or fatty dishes: pasta with meat sauces, lamb, and Piedmontese dishes such as Villanova gallina bionda salad or snails.
