Freisa
Freisa is a red wine grape varietal grown in the Piedmont wine region of north-west Italy. Recent DNA profiling has revealed Freisa as being a parent to the renowned Nebbiolo grape. The bouquet is aromatic and fragrant with notes of strawberry, spices, black cherry, and violets. Bold and lush on the palate, it is an aromatic, deeply colored, tannic wine.
From Louis Lucas - "A must with Italian food. I had an Italian uncle whose last name was Sandrini. He was all country, a macho man, bold and with an iron fist. He rode bulls occasionally for fun! We bought him a longhorn bull for Christmas one year. It was a great bull. After a few years, the Texans wanted to buy that bull back. Uncle Lest was the true Italian cowboy. This wine makes me think of him. How’s that for a description of wine? It reminds me of the old world - that’s Italian!"
