Dark - looks like Cab Sav. Nose black cherry, blackcurrant, some floral notes but somewhat overpowered by the fruit which is big and bold. Medium acidity.
Big, fruity on the palate - I thought it could be confused with Rhone. Not much in the way of tannins but some spice from the wood. Some baking spice and almond/marzipan notes on the second glass.
Really nothing like Nebbiolo other than the floral notes so this was not as expected. Glad to try it but not something I would seek out in future.

Wow, if tasted blind I would be close to a Nebbiolo. This Freisa comes from the Bricco Viole plot. The bouquet convinces with some herbs, white pepper, nuts and blueberries. The Kyè always needs some time, but it’s drinking perfectly right now.

Dark ruby with translucence at the edges. Nose red cherries, pronounced iron streak. Palate initially some tannic reluctance but with time becomes more yielding, red cherries with a woody note. A perfumed note to the red fruits. Strong iron minerality. Still structured and with potential for the future. Good with agnolotti.

Medium plus red. Nose has some resemblance to nebbiolo with licorice, but more red fruit. In the mouth there is ample medium red berry fruit, even strawberry to go with the firm tannin. This bottle is a really good introduction to this grape, for me.
