Bonina, Paitin Freisa, Langhe, Piedmont, Italy, 2020

Freisa is a little-known variety here in the UK, but it deserves more attention: light, aromatic and balsamic, it offers wafts of spiced red fruits followed by a sweet intensity of focused strawberry and pomegranate fruits in the mouth. The savoury finish speaks of the autumn. A delicious midweek wine to enjoy with lamb or a chicken and pomegranate seed salad.
