Red wine | Paso Robles, California, USA
Meet 'Freddo', an innovative and playful chillable red wine from Field Recordings in Paso Robles, California. Crafted by winemaker Andrew Jones, who is known for his keen eye for unique, high-potential vineyard sites, this wine is designed to be enjoyed cold. The name 'Freddo'—Italian for 'cold'—is a nod to the Italian varietals in the blend. The bottle features a brilliant, interactive thermochromic label: when chilled to the perfect serving temperature, the white text turns a vibrant blue, signaling that it is ready to pour.
This wine is a departure from the heavy, high-tannin reds often associated with the region. By utilizing carbonic maceration, Andrew Jones has stripped away the harsh tannins, resulting in a juicy, light-to-medium-bodied red that is incredibly easy-drinking and refreshing. On the nose, you will find bright, inviting aromas of fresh cranberries, Montmorency cherries, and wild strawberries, complemented by subtle herbal notes and a touch of spice. On the palate, it delivers a zesty acidity and vibrant fruit flavors that flow smoothly to a clean, mouthwatering finish.
Because of its light frame and refreshing character, this wine is exceptionally food-friendly. It is the perfect companion for a variety of cuisines that are often difficult to pair with traditional bold reds. Try it alongside antipasto platters, herb-crusted chicken, spicy Indian or Mexican dishes, or even a gourmet pizza. Whether you are hosting a summer barbecue or looking for a casual, fun bottle to liven up a dinner, the Field Recordings Freddo offers a one-of-a-kind, spirited experience that proves Paso Robles can do more than just big wines—it can do fresh, fun, and completely delicious.
