dark ruby and a fairly reductive nose, this was my first experience with Freisa. red fruited but muted, lots of earth & forest, bramble - big on palate, grippy tannins yet a jolt of acidity. very unusual overall. interesting & cerebral - imagine this complements heavy tomato based dishes — 5 months ago
Love it! Juicy AF. Minerally. Good with spicy shakshouka. I'd keep a bottle of this on hand all the time. — 2 years ago
Love the tart fruit, kind of a crunchy red. Everything I expect from this region. — 4 hours ago
An experience. Intense morello and crimson fruit with lithe structure and a mushroomy edge. Memorable meal. — 2 months ago
It's a fantastic blend that starts blackberry and plum fruit forward. There's a nice salt and earthy finish. — 7 months ago
Castello di Gabiano ‘Il Ruvo’ Grignolino del Monferrato Casalese 2017: Medium-bodied. Noticeable tannins & lively acidity. Complex aromas with bright fruity taste. Fresh flavors of strawberry, raspberry, cherry, dried herbs, earth & a hint of oak. Velvety long finish. Made from 100% Grignolino grape, a Piemonte grape variety, this wine offered a soft delicate texture yet rich red fruit taste. For me, this was a great find; an exotic northern Italian beauty that does not have as strong of a personality as a Nebbiolo, Barbera or Dolcetto but can stand in its own! Happy Wine Wednesday to all! Cheers🍷 — 3 years ago
Very nice as noted previously, it’s got that Nebbiolo weight that floats. — a month ago

3.4. Lovely fruity, lively Italian red wine. Very lively at first taste, growing smoother as it airs. On sale for $33.99. — 3 days ago
