Description

Imagine yourself transported to the rolling hills of Piedmont, Italy, where the esteemed I Moschettieri winery crafts a sparkling wine that's as unique as the region itself. This isn't your average Prosecco or Champagne; the Moschettieri di Freisa Extra Brut is a testament to the Freisa grape, a local treasure bursting with character.

From the moment you pop the cork, you'll be greeted by a symphony of aromas. Picture delicate floral notes of rose and wisteria mingling with the refreshing zest of wild strawberries and raspberries. A subtle hint of minerality adds depth, hinting at the terroir from which these grapes were nurtured. This Extra Brut is a symphony of delicate flavors. The tiny bubbles dance on your palate, releasing bursts of vibrant red fruit, underpinned by a crisp acidity and a touch of delightful bitterness. The finish is elegant and refreshing, leaving you wanting more.

I Moschettieri, with its history rooted in 1919, has always championed the unique character of the Freisa grape. The winery's commitment to quality shines through in every bottle. This Extra Brut is crafted using the Metodo Classico, the same traditional method used for Champagne, ensuring the finest quality bubbles and complexity. Freisa is a varietal with a long history in Piedmont, often overshadowed by its more famous neighbors like Barbera and Nebbiolo. I Moschettieri, however, has made it their mission to showcase the full potential of this grape.

This sparkling wine is incredibly versatile. Its dryness and lively acidity make it a fantastic aperitif, pairing beautifully with appetizers like bruschetta with fresh tomatoes and basil, or creamy goat cheese crostini. On a sunny afternoon, this wine complements seafood dishes such as grilled shrimp or seared scallops perfectly. Don't be afraid to experiment, I Moschettieri's Extra Brut also makes an amazing partner to a charcuterie board with cured meats and cheeses, where its acidity will cut through the richness, while its fruit notes will harmonize with the savory flavors. Moreover, it's a great accompaniment to lighter salads with vinaigrette dressings, balancing the acidity and adding a touch of sophistication.

So, uncork a bottle of I Moschettieri di Freisa Extra Brut, and let it transport you to the heart of Piedmont. Experience the passion, dedication, and unique character that make this wine a true Italian treasure. Salute!
