Resistant to disease, the grape was often planted in less desirable spots, but when planted in optimal positions in the Asti province, Freisa wines sing. The grape variety’s name comes from the Latin fresia, meaning strawberry, and one sip makes this association clear. Vineyard: Estate fruit from the Majole vineyard situated 250 meters above sea level. Southwest exposure. Calcareous-red clay soils. These vines were planted in 2006 with 5,000 vines per hectare trained in the guyot style. Only 70 quintals per hectare harvested. Vinification: Hand-harvested fruit is destemmed and then crushed by basket press into stainless-steel tanks, where it remains in contact with the skins for 10 days while native fermentation occurs. Following spontaneous malolactic fermentation, the wine rests in tank for 3 months and then an additional 4 months in bottle prior to release.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coeur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53248792625517,"sku":"21633","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/5327\/0827\/files\/2023LaMirajaFreisad_AstiDOCPiedmont_Italy.jpg?v=1776961899","url":"https:\/\/leonandsonwine.com\/products\/2023-la-miraja-freisa-dasti-doc-piedmont-italy","provider":"Leon \u0026 Son Wine and Spirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
