The 2023 G.D. Vajra Freisa Kyè is a distinctive Langhe red made from 100% Freisa, a historic Piedmontese variety closely related to Nebbiolo. The nose is fragrant and savoury, showing sour cherry, pomegranate and dried violet with orange peel, sandalwood, sweet tobacco and subtle spice.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied and energetic with vibrant acidity and Freisa’s naturally firm tannin structure. Forest berries, lavender, star anise and black tea add complexity, while a 43-day fermentation and four months in Slavonian oak help build texture without masking the fruit. The finish is long, savoury and finely structured.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for drinkers who enjoy aromatic Piedmont reds with bright acidity, firm tannins and savoury complexity. Enjoy with decanting when young or allow further bottle development. Pair with mushroom risotto, braised beef, roast lamb, charcuterie or aged cheeses.

About the region

Piedmont · Alba

Piedmont, or Piemonte, sits in Italy's north-west under the Alps. Its great grape is Nebbiolo, which ripens late, is often picked in autumn fog, and reaches its fullest expression in the Langhe hills at Barolo and Barbaresco. Those wines are pale and firmly tannic when young, and turn to tar, dried rose and truffle with age. Alongside them Barbera and Dolcetto supply the everyday reds, and Moscato d'Asti the sweet, lightly sparkling whites.
