Crotin 1897 Freisa d'Asti DOC ‘Aris' 2022 Wine:Wine

Crotin 1897 Freisa d'Asti DOC ‘Aris' 2022 Wine:WineFreisa is a relative of Nebbiolo and native to the hills around Asti. The grape is packed full of sumptuous tannin, rushing acidity and can be used in a range of styles from fizzy and semi sweet to brooding and tannic. We work with three fascinating renditions of freisa from the gentle hands of the Crotin family; bone dry sparkling, a racy rosato and this juicy yet structured red. 'Aris' is made from a single hectare, south facing vineyard, sliced

facing east at 400m

Generously dusted with winter black truffles (Tuber Melanosporum) harvested from the Teruel countryside in the province of Aragon

Based on this vintage (2022) as well as the 2021
