Freisa del Monferrato Tenuta Migliavacca 2025

The Freisa del Monferrato from Tenuta Migliavacca originates from a winery located in San Giorgio Monferrato, on the first hills of Casale Monferrato, an area renowned for the production of quality red wines. The winery is family-run and took its first steps in the post-war period with Enrico Brezza, who purchased a noble villa with a few hectares of land around it. The passion for winemaking and the world of wine has been passed down to subsequent generations, and a few years later, his son Andrea began the actual production of a few thousand bottles. In 1964, it became the first winery in Italy to pursue the guidelines of biodynamic cultivation for grape growing; today, Francesco Brezza is the proud owner of this business and manages about 13 hectares of vineyards, along with other crops of hay and cereals.

The pure Freisa grapes of the Freisa del Monferrato from Tenuta Migliavacca are grown on soils nourished with organic and natural compost, derived from cattle farming, thus creating a sort of circular economy useful for making the land fertile. The soil is mainly composed of limestone and clay, components that contribute to creating characterful wines; the climate in this area is continental with sultry, hot summers and cold, humid winters with sporadic frosts. The harvest is strictly conducted by hand, and once in the winery, the bunches are subjected to destemming-crushing; this is followed by spontaneous fermentation in barriques and a maceration on the skins for up to 15 days. It ages in steel for 6 months.

The Freisa del Monferrato from Tenuta Migliavacca presents itself with a ruby red color and brilliant reflections; the nose perceives aromas of raspberry, currant, pomace, and subtle mineral notes that linger for a long time. On the palate, the structure is powerful, balanced by a round softness with present tannins that are pleasant to drink. It pairs excellently with cold cuts, white meats in stew, first courses with meat-based sauces, and aged cheeses for a precious end of meal. A product to share with lifelong friends or at family reunions, drinking a wine that encapsulates the flavor of tradition and respect for the raw materials that nature provides every day.
