Bright ruby red, notes of cherry, wild berries and spicy hints of black pepper. Well-balanced and fruity on the palate, with good tannins and a signature spicy aftertaste.
Producer Information
Frecciarossa is one of Oltrepò Pavese’s historic estates and can trace its roots back to the 18th century. The villa that stands on the property today was first built in the 19th century but it wasn’t until the late 1980s that the Odero family began to shift its focus to the production of fine wines. By the 2000s, the winery became a regular winner of the prestigious Three Glass award from the Gambero Rosso (the publication’s top honor). The following description of the estate and its growing practices have been translated and adapted from the original Italian (by Vignaioli Selections). Check out the English-language version of the winery’s website here. Currently, the Frecciarossa estate covers nearly 25 hectares of which 20 are planted to vine. An additional 6 hectares have been replanted to vine but are not yet being used for the production of wine.
