Place: Monferrato – Piedmont, Italy
Variety: Freisa
Farming: Organic
Ermanno Accornero leads the fifth generation at the helm of this iconic Monferrato address. Known for producing generous barbera and scintillating grignolino that can rival the perfume of their Langhe neighbours, the grapes are organically farmed over soils that have varying proportions of clay limestone throughout.
Freisa is widely cultivated throughout Piedmont and is the closest relative to nebbiolo. Sadly much of it has been ripped out to make way for more nebbiolo, but Accornero is a proper old-school producer who refuses to let it’s light dim. Fleshy, herbaceous and full-bodied.
