‘The 2018 Langhe Freisa Kyè is quite refined in this vintage and yet it also shows all of the aromatic nuance and complexity that are such signatures of this variety and wine. Dried herbs, rose petal, lavender, mint and spice lend exotic nuance to this deep, beautifully layered Freisa. The Kyè is one of the sleepers of Piedmont's 2018 vintage. It is, quite frankly, as good or better than some Barolos in this tricky vintage. 2024-2036’ – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 93+/100
‘The wine name asks “who is it?” and refers to the difficultly in identifying the grape used to make this wine. A pure expression of Freisa, one of the most beloved local indigenous varieties, this wine opens to dark concentration with shiny garnet highlights. The 2018 Langhe Freisa Kyè shows baked cherry and barbecue smoke. It ages in large oak casks for 26 months. 2022-2026’ – Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, 92/100
