Freisa, Piedmont
$55
In the glass
A Piedmont red that drinks fresh and lively rather than heavy - wild raspberry and sour cherry with an earthy, forest-floor edge.
Freisa is an old Piedmont grape, a cousin of Nebbiolo, and this one comes from the hills around Tortona, from the family better known for reviving the white grape Timorasso. It is deep red with raspberry and sour cherry, a lift of violet, and an earthy, damp-forest edge underneath. Bright and medium-bodied, fresh rather than heavy, with a finish that stays.
