Had my day of from work so decide to speriment cooking something to pair with Rinaldi’s Freisa. Went for a Radicchio, taleggio and speck risotto!
Tasting notes:
LANGHE FREISA RINALDI 23
This wine is a wonderful expression of one of Piedmont’s most interesting native grapes. In the glass it reveals a luminous ruby hue with delicate garnet reflections with vibrancy and depth.
I really loved its inviting bouquet to the nose with notes of strawberry, raspberry, red currant and subtle floral notes of dried rose petals, sweet spice all ending with a touch of earthy underbrush. With some time gentle balsamic nuances emerges giving this masterpiece further complexity.
My expectations were so high and when I tasted it I wasn’t let down!
Excellent acidity, nice fruity notes and Freisa’s hallmark tannins provide structure maintaining the wine’s elegance. Aromas of cherry, pomegranate, blood orange glide toward a refined, slightly savory finish that ends with a touch of white pepper, herbs and graphite.
93pts 50€

Freisa is so underrated. Love that you paired it with radicchio and taleggio, the bitterness must have played beautifully off those tannins. That risotto sounds like a perfect match. How did you find the 2023 vintage compared to other years?
God, yes please. Looks and sounds awesome.
Amazing notes and so glad you enjoyed it!! I miss selling Rinaldi. Every tasting was so joyful.
