Tasting Note for the 2021 (90pts JD): "A deep ruby color, the 2021 Langhe Freisa was raised for one year in Slavonian oak botti and boasts notes of black cherries, ripe and fruity pepper, and hints of mocha and wet stone. Medium to full-bodied, it offers rich tannins and a savory finish with clean lift. It's a well-structured and polished but pure style to drink over the next 3-5 years."
100% Freisa from a small parcel within the Bricco Boschis cru. This blessed hillside Castiglione Falletto vineyard is also the source of Cavallotto’s top Barolo. Aromatic with lovely red fruit, flowers, and spice. Matured in Slavonian oak for one year. This has tons of richness and complexity! Cellar worthy and certified organic.
