G. B. Burlotto Langhe Freisa, Piedmont, Italy 2023

In the chorus of Langa reds, hers is the most baritone, deepest voice. Gruff, a loquacious companion at the table, the bottle of Freisa attracts attention like a magnet, her breath so ardent, material so dark, flavor so vigorous. She obliges us to present the most intense dishes and the most passionate conversations alongside her.

Grape variety: Freisa

"The 2023 Langhe Freisa is fabulous. Deep black fruit, leather, sage, menthol, licorice and espresso are all beautifully amplified. Readers will find a complex, dynamic Freisa that hits all the right notes. In a range of superb wines, the Burlotto Freisa is the under-the-radar gem. The 2023 spent ten months in neutral 500-liter barrels."  Antonio Galloni - Vinous 94
