Brovia 'La Villerina Secca', Langhe Freisa, Italy 2021
Ah, Freisa, the relative to the great Nebbiolo. In the past, Freisa typically produced wines quite light in color but could be quite tannic and acidic. Today, winemakers have a better handle on the finicky grape variety. Brovia's secret here is old vines (c.1961) planted in the Villero cru. Brovia Freisa is always more profound & powerful than one expects from Freisa. This isn’t super tannic or hard to get into, but it’s more full-bodied than you might expect. It would age fairly well but I wouldn’t say it demands bottle age.
