The powerful Arvelè Freisa D’Asti Superiore from Italy is a single-varietal wine made from the Freisa grape variety. In Piedmont, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on clay soils.

Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks and large wooden casks at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by maturation on the fine lees for a few months before the wine is finally racked.
