Frequently asked about Freisinger Pinot Grigio
What does Freisinger Pinot Grigio taste like?
Pear, apple, white peach and almond blossom on the nose; stone fruit, lees-driven texture, saline minerality and fresh acidity on the palate. Medium-bodied with a long mineral finish.
When should I drink Freisinger?
Drink between 2 and 10 years from vintage. Selection-grade Alto Adige Pinot Grigio takes oxidative ageing well; cellared bottles develop almond and honey complexity.
How is Freisinger different from commodity Pinot Grigio?
Freisinger spends six months on lees in large oak before bottling, building texture and structure absent from mass-market Pinot Grigio. The Freisinger vineyard above Termeno sits on porphyry-limestone at 350-450 metres.
