DOC Langhe Freisa: Vines
The DOC Langhe Freisa is a single varietal wine, and therefore can be made exclusively by Freisa grapes
85% Freisa. 15% other similarly colored, non-aromatic grape varieties suitable for cultivation in the Piedmont region
This typical piedmontese vine is particulary sturdy, thriving in clay or marl, which explains its presence in all the wine-growing provinces of Piedmont. The bunch is long, with a greeen stalk. The grapes are round or slightly oval, and bluish in colour. The plant usually produces an abundant harvest. The grapes are harvested a few days before barbera. you can read more about Freisa here.
