Scagliola - Frem 2023 Barbera d'Asti DOCG
Tradition, Solidity, and Monferrato Pleasantness
The name Frem comes from the Piedmontese dialect and evokes the concept of solidity and frankness. This Barbera d'Asti from the Scagliola winery comes from the hills of Calamandrana, in the heart of Monferrato. Expertly crafted to balance the grape's exuberant fruitiness with its natural acidity, it produces a red wine with a bold character, yet soft and extremely versatile.
