Freisa
Freisa is a red grape variety primarily grown in the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy. It is particularly known for its connection to the famous Langhe wine region, but it is also found in other parts of Piedmont such as Monferrato and Asti. Here is a deeper insight into the Freisa grape and its uses:
Characteristics
Freisa is known for its distinctive aroma of red fruits, especially raspberries and cherries, along with a characteristic herbal note and a tannic profile that can vary depending on the vinification method. It often has a good acid balance, making it suitable for both early drinking and aging.
Vinification
Freisa can be vinified in different ways, leading to different types of wines:
Dry still wine: Freisa is often produced as a dry still wine, which can be both light and fruity or more full-bodied and tannic, depending on the production techniques. This type of Freisa can exhibit a beautiful balance between fruit and tannins and have a pleasant spicy finish.
Frizzante (slightly sparkling): Freisa is also made as a 'frizzante' wine, which is slightly sparkling. This style is typically more youthful and fruit-driven with a fresh and lively mouthfeel.
Sweet Style: In some cases, Freisa is also produced in a sweeter style, where the natural fruit sweetness is complemented by the freshness and acidity of the grape, creating a pleasant and balanced wine.
Food
Freisa wines are versatile in food pairing. Dry versions go well with local Piedmontese dishes such as pasta, risotto, and especially dishes with truffles or mushrooms. They can also accompany meat dishes such as braised beef or game. The sweeter or slightly sparkling versions can be excellent to accompany savory dishes or as part of dessert.
Popularity and Availability
Although Freisa does not have the same international recognition as some of its Piedmontese neighbors such as Nebbiolo (from Barolo and Barbaresco), it still enjoys great respect locally and among wine lovers who appreciate its unique character and versatility.
