🏰 From the esteemed Giuseppe Mascarello, this 2018 Langhe Freisa Toetto is a graceful, complex wine from a single vineyard, showcasing the traditional Freisa grape with purity and structure, aged in Slavonian oak foudres. This deep red wine is rich in red fruits, flowers, spices, and incredibly fresh. It presents a full and rustic style, boasting notes of red currants, violets, thyme, and a hint of spice, with a smooth and structured mouthfeel. Some notes also describe dark berry fruit, tar, and violets on the nose, with a petillant and mid-weighted palate, a little rustic and chewy texturally, and a nice acidic backbone. 🍴 This wine finds its best matches with appetizers of sliced meats like prosciutto, salami, and lardo, Alba beef tartare, vitello tonnato, pasta, pizza, simple red meat dishes, or seasoned cheeses. 🥂 A fantastic choice for a traditional Piedmontese meal, a casual pizza night, or for those exploring indigenous Italian grape varieties.
