"Aromas of strawberry, star anise, orange peel and white pepper come to the forefront on the Cavallotto 2023 Langhe Freisa. The aromas carry on to the firmly structured palate along with pink peppercorn, bitter almond and graphite. A backbone of firm but well-integrated tannins provides support."

"The Cavallotto 2023 Langhe Freisa captures the dual personality that makes this grape so appealing. Aromas of strawberry and dried raspberry reflect the warmth of the vintage, offering a soft and approachable introduction that never feels heavy or overripe. On the palate, however, the wine shifts gears, revealing bitter plum, vibrant freshness and a tightly wound finish that brings energy and definition. The hot, dry conditions of 2023 have softened the wine's overall profile, yet Freisa's naturally firm character remains intact."

"Ripe red fruit, white pepper, leather, geranium and blood orange aromas come to the forefront on the stunning 2022 Freisa from Cavallotto. It's delicious and enveloping, delivering layers of strawberry, blood orange, truffle and licorice flavors before closing on mint and a salty note. Firm, fine-grained tannins and surprisingly fresh acidity for the hot, dry vintage keep it nicely balanced"

"Dark and saturated with black currant, blackberry and violet flavors, this red is fluid and vibrant. A dense layer of tannins cleanses the finish, which lingers nicely. This should be a nice foil for salume and fatty cheeses. Drink now through 2030. 200 cases made, 65 cases imported."

"A deep ruby color, the 2021 Langhe Freisa was raised for one year in Slavonian oak botti and boasts notes of black cherries, ripe and fruity pepper, and hints of mocha and wet stone. Medium to full-bodied, it offers rich tannins and a savory finish with clean lift. It™s a well-structured and polished but pure style to drink over the next 3-5 years."

"This rich red is full of black cherry, blackberry and violet flavors. Lively acidity and light, chalky tannins lend support, focusing the dusty finish. Drink now. 350 cases made, 120 cases imported."

"Deep violet crimson. The nose reminds me of Nebbiolo and Dolcetto at the same time: the inky blackberry of Dolcetto and the earthy cherry of Nebbiolo. Succulent cherry and blackberry with gritty soft tannins. Really distinctive and delicious. Ends completely dry. (WS) 13.5%"
