The 2023 Langhe Freisa is redolent of wild cherry, game, licorice, incense, iron and dried herbs. Deceptive in its mid-weight structure, the Freisa is a powerful wine defined by strong animal and game notes. Beams of tannin make themselves felt on the mid-palate and finish. Readers will find an assertive wine that speaks loudly. The 2023 spent nine months in cask and then another year in bottle.
