Description

1977 Freisa – Marchesi di Barolo (Piedmont)

Freisa is one of Piedmont’s traditional indigenous varieties, historically grown alongside Nebbiolo and known for its vibrant acidity and firm structure in youth. The 1977 vintage produced classically styled wines in the region, and this bottling from Marchesi di Barolo — one of Piedmont’s historic estates, whose roots trace back to the 19th century — reflects a traditional approach centred on balance and patient ageing.

Tasting Notes:
Now showing a mature brick-garnet hue with amber tones at the rim, the nose is savoury and gently evolved. Aromas of dried red cherry, cranberry and rose petal mingle with notes of leather, tobacco leaf and forest floor. With time in the glass, subtle hints of dried herbs and warm spice emerge. On the palate it is medium-bodied and harmonious, with softened tannins and a lively thread of acidity that preserves freshness. Flavours of dried red fruits, savoury earth and light balsamic nuances unfold gradually, leading to a smooth, elegant and gently persistent finish.

Serving & Food Pairing:
Decant carefully to remove sediment and allow the wine to open slowly before serving. Best enjoyed at cellar temperature. A fine companion to braised meats, game dishes, mushroom risotto or mature hard cheeses.

Summary:
A rare and characterful example of mature Freisa from a distinguished Piedmont estate, offering savoury complexity and traditional regional character shaped by decades of bottle ageing.
