A small release of 2,000 bottles, the 2020 Langhe Freisa offers all that fun, zesty intensity that makes the indigenous Freisa grape such a special surprise. This expression from the Brezza family is made with organic fruit. It shows wild berry and cassis, all followed by those unmistakable hints of white pepper. It's easy drinking with a pizza, and you do get lots of character in this entry-level bottle.

If you are a Freisa fanatic (as I am), you will appreciate this good value. The 2017 Langhe Freisa shows a raw and tangy quality with forest berry and blueberry backed by freshly milled white pepper. This is an easy-drinking red to pair with takeout sweet and sour pork or fried dumplings.
