50% Barbera 50% Freisa
Freisa is an ancient grape varietal that has never been cloned. In other words, the grapes are exactly as they were in centuries past, which is not what we can say about other varietals. A distant relative of Nebbiolo, it shares the same crisp acidity and tannic structure. Aldo Vaira planted his first massal selection vines of Freisa in the 1970s and is considered one of the saviors of the varietal.
The 2022 Piemonte Barbera Freisa is another new wine from Vajra. Rich, deep and super-expressive, the 2022 exudes tons of character. Dark-toned fruit, spice, leather, tobacco and lavender all open effortlessly in the glass. This hearty, potent red has a ton to offer.
