Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, high tannin, high acidity, dry
Bartolo Mascarello's still, dry Langhe Freisa from the family's Barolo holdings, made in the same uncompromisingly traditional way as their Barolo: long maceration and ageing in large old casks. Freisa is Nebbiolo's rustic relative — raspberry and wild strawberry with rose, dried herbs and a touch of tar, firm, grippy tannins and high acidity. A wine of character that rewards a few years in bottle and food with fat.
