G.D. Vajra - Freisa 'Kye' Langhe Rosso 2019
G.D. Vajra Description
Freisa is a noble grape, rare and fighting for survival. Part of the history and identity of Piedmont since ancient times, Freisa is one of the closest relatives of Nebbiolo, as demonstrated in 2004 by Prof. Anna Schneider, University of Turin. Our Kyè® is the tribute to Freisa and its great and wild personality.
Deep ruby color. Notes of red berries, tobacco, rose and white pepper, interspersed with hay and herbs. A full body, well balanced acidity and alcoholic strength. An expressive and rich wine, with a long finish of dark fruit and spices
Vinous: 93 Points
The 2019 Langhe Freisa Ky? is a gorgeous, exquisite wine. Picking a bit earlier has resulted in a Freisa that emphasizes energy over the more dense style that was in place here prior to 2015. Orange zest, raspberry, mint, sage and dried herbs. The style is more Nebbiolo-like than the more deep, concentrated and at times rustic Freisas of the past.
