Winemaker Notes

A variety that was once very common in the Langa; now, following the spread of Nebbiolo for the production of Barolo and Barbaresco, Freisa represents a rarity. A rarity, almost forgotten, but not by us at Dosio, as it is inextricably linked to our territory, traditions and roots. Our Freisa comes from a rigorous selection of grapes, careful vinification and scrupulous refinement in oak barrels - these characteristics have given rise to a red wine of great structure and elegant tannins, typical of the variety.
