Freisa di Chieri

Wine · PDO · 13 municipalities

Recognised since 1976, the Freisa di Chieri DOC is a highly localized Piemonte appellation shaped by just nine verified producers. Cultivated across the hilly territory of Chieri, eleven other Torinese communes, and specific parts of the city of Torino, the wines must contain at least 90% Freisa grapes. Unlike neighboring appellations that frequently market aged variants, this denomination explicitly bans the terms 'Riserva,' 'extra,' and 'scelto.' Instead, quality is controlled through strict agricultural limits, including a maximum base yield of 8.0 tonnes per hectare, and a mandatory twelve-month aging period starting from November 1st of the harvest year for its Superiore style.
