VM94: The 2023 Langhe Freisa is fabulous. Deep black fruit, leather, sage, menthol, licorice and espresso are all beautifully amplified. Readers will find a complex, dynamic Freisa that hits all the right notes. In a range of superb wines, the Burlotto Freisa is the under-the-radar gem. The 2023 spent ten months in neutral 500-liter barrels. I would love to own this.
