100% Freisa
Nestled within the original castle of Castagnole Monferrato, La Miraja was constructed as an armory in the 11th century, only to be retrofitted as a cellar in the 1400s. La Miraja (pronounced “me-rye-uh”) is tiny by any measure, comprising less than 4 hectares under vine. It is here that Eugenio, seventh genration winemaker, devotes his life’s work to producing roughly 2,500 transcendent cases of wine each year. Harnessing his years of working in wineries and distilleries across Italy, he imbues his wines with a haunting purity and a simple elegance.
Subtle yet aromatic. Dominated by bright red fruit and underlying notes of forest floor, fresh mushroom, violet, and geranium. Noteworthy floral character gives way to perfectly ripened strawberry and stony minerality.
