Freisa, a close genetic relative of Nebbiolo, is native to Piedmont and known for its bold tannins, high acidity, and untamed flavor profile. Sourced from organically farmed estate vineyards in the Langhe, Fenocchios 2022 Freisa is vinified traditionally: spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, followed by a short maceration and aging in stainless steel to preserve its raw, aromatic character. The result is a wine that straddles the line between rusticity and finesseoffering floral lift, savory complexity, and a slightly grippy texture. Its natural acidity and structure make it a versatile food wine, ideal with cured meats, grilled lamb, or Piemontese tajarin with rag.
Giacomo Fenocchio is a traditional Barolo estate with a deep respect for Piedmonts native grape varieties beyond Nebbiolo. Now under the stewardship of Claudio Fenocchio, the winery practices organic farming and relies on minimal intervention to craft expressive, terroir-driven wines. While best known for its Barolo crus, the estates Langhe bottlingsincluding Freisa, Dolcetto, and Barberaoffer insight into the regions everyday drinking traditions. These wines are made with the same care and authenticity, showcasing varietal character and a sense of place. The Freisa, in particular, reflects Fenocchios commitment to preserving Piedmonts lesser-known heritage grapes with clarity and honesty.
