Velvety & Complex
Arvelè, in Piemonte dialect, means “revelation”. The first sip of Arvelé will delight aficionados of Freisa. only the best lots of freisa go into this selection, and it then spends 8 months in small barrels of the second pass. The consequent slow oxidation and absorption of compounds from the oak have softened the tannins, deepened its rich ruby tonality, and brought out those aromas traditional to Freisa. Wild berry fruit, raspberry, and subtle hints of blackberry and rose petals meld appealingly into subtly pungent notes of vanilla and tobacco leaf. The palate is crisp and fresh, yet at the same time mouth-filling and velvet-textured.
