Located in Nizza Monferrato, in the heart of Monferrato Area (Piemonte); 20 km from Asti and 30 km from Alba, the Frasca Winery consists of 22 hectares of vineyards, embracing the municipalities of Nizza Monferrato, Agliano Terme and Moasca.

Founded in 2018 by Curt Frasca (Italian American wine connoisseur, fallen in love with Barbera and Monferrato) and Matteo Gerbi (formerly WM of iconic Wineries such as G.D. Vajra and Bruno Giacosa), these vineyards have been selected with patience to enhance the different characteristics of the territory and are managed with care and passion, to respect the Earth and Man.

Frasca Freisa d’Asti DOC is a vibrant, dry red wine crafted from 100% Freisa grapes grown on 20-year-old vines in the Moasca region of Asti, Piedmont. This particular vintage showcases a highly aromatic, fruit-forward profile typical of the native Piedmontese grape.

One of the oldest varieties in Piedmont, its DNA is similar to the Nebbiolo. On the label the magpie, faithful and free-flying, holds a special place in the hearts of Piedmontese winegrowers; a celebration of the farms and their inhabitants.

Ruby red with garnet reflections.

A floral nose of violet and red cherries, particularly refreshing.
