What it pairs with

  • Wild boar ragu
    Freisa's structure and wild-berry edge meet gamey ragu.
  • Braised rabbit
    The wine's firm tannin frames slow-cooked rabbit.
  • Aged Toma
    Alpine cheese softens the tannin.

History

Freisa, a Piedmontese grape related to Nebbiolo, was championed by the Vaira family with the structured, age-worthy Kye bottling.
