In Canelli, on the beautiful hills of the Astigiano, there is the farm “I Tre Poggi“, famous for the production of biodinamic wines (which vinification considers the astrologic influences on plants and soil) like the one we taste today: the Freisa d’Asti D.o.c. 2010
This red wine, produced with Freisa grapes in purity (native piedmontese vine known since 1500), is clear of a red ruby colour, slightly sparkling.
Its aroma, fine and aromatic, remembers the red ripe fruit (raspberry and cherry) and wildflowers (rose and violet) also showing delicate spicy perfumes at the end.
The taste is dry and quite sapid but delicate and fresh in its complex, thanks to the light fizz in it.
It is of a middle body and alcohol (13 degrees) being an easy to drink wine that fits well during all meal.
It is very good when combined with cold cuts and middle aged cheese, appetizers, grilled vegetables and pastas or with simple but tasty recipes based on meat such as boiled, roast or sausage, letting the Freisa’s effervescence and sapidity to easily “clean up” your mouth.
It has to be served in the right glass (large tulip) and tasted at a temperature between 14 – 16 degrees.

Joe, torinese D.o.c., annata 1981, si appassiona fin da giovanissima
alle gioie del palato scoprendo, grazie ai nonni, il buon vino e la cucina della sua terra.
Amante della buona compagnia, preferisce coltivare ed intrattenere i suoi affetti intorno ad una tavola sostanziosa, che sia quella della piola o dell'osteria più raffinata oppure, meglio ancora, se di casa propria.
Si diletta volentieri in cucina, sperimentando sempre nuovi e originali accostamenti enogastronomici.
Nel 2006, data la profonda passione per la Vitis Vinifera e la sua linfa, decide di diventare un Sommelier presso l'Associazione
F.i.s.a.r., in parole povere, beve e studia per quasi due anni fino al conseguimento del diploma finale, ottenuto fieramente in seguito a lunghe ed estenuanti degustazioni.

Joe is from Turin, Italy. She started loving good wine and food since she was very young, discovering the joys of the palate, thanks to her grandparents.
She has always liked entertaining friends and her loved ones around a well stocked table, full of delicious dishes.
She is pretty happy in the kitchen as she likes trying new and original eno-gastonomical pairings.
In 2006, due to her deep love for wines, she became a Sommelier (wine taster) with the "F.i.s.a.r". association.
In short, she studied hard and drank wines for two years in a row until she got the final diploma, obtained after long and exhausting tastings.
