[SOLD-OUT] G.D. Vajra freisa Kye 2016

FREISA IS A ITALIAN NATIVE GRAPE, rare and fighting for survival. It’s been part of the history and identity of Piedmont since ancient times.  

"Freisa is one of the closest relatives of Nebbiolo, as demonstrated in 2004 by Professor Anna Schneider of Turin University. Our Kyè is the tribute to Freisa and its great and wild personality. The fruit comes from our San Ponzio vineyard in Barolo, which sits at an altitude between 390 and 410m, on clay soil. The perfect time for harvesting Freisa is determined by alternating warm autumn days and cool nights; in general this happens in the second half of October, 20-30 days later than the average. The removal of stems, the most acidic part of the fruit and with the greater charge of green tannins, is essential. The must undergoes a fairly long fermentation." - G.D. Vajra 2016 Barolo
