Description

Freisa 1982 Marchesi di Barolo is a red wine from Piedmont, Italy, produced by the historic Marchesi di Barolo, a family estate renowned for crafting wines that respect Piedmontese tradition. Freisa, a native grape of the region, is celebrated for its aromatic character, lively acidity, and aging potential, all of which are beautifully expressed in this mature 1982 vintage.

Tasting Notes:
The wine shows a garnet-red color with orange-brick reflections, characteristic of a well-aged Freisa. The bouquet is delicate yet layered, revealing aromas of dried cherries, red raspberries, subtle wild berries, and hints of violet, complemented by tertiary notes of leather, tobacco, gentle spices, and earthy undertones. With gentle aeration, nuanced balsamic and mineral hints emerge, adding sophistication and depth.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied with smooth, integrated tannins and a lively, balanced acidity. The finish is elegant and persistent, featuring dried red fruit, gentle spice, and refined earthy notes, reflecting both careful maturation and the distinctive aromatic profile of Freisa from Marchesi di Barolo’s vineyards.

Serving & Food Pairing:
Serve at around 16–18°C.

Pairs beautifully with roasted or braised meats, mushroom risottos, game, pasta with hearty sauces, and medium-aged cheeses. Its aromatic complexity also allows it to be appreciated on its own as a contemplative tasting wine.

Producer:
Marchesi di Barolo is celebrated for producing Piedmontese wines that combine elegance, structure, and age-worthy potential. The 1982 Freisa demonstrates the winery’s mastery in expressing the subtle aromatics, liveliness, and finesse of this traditional grape variety.
