The estate sits just outside the town of Chieri, a mere 20 kilometers east of central Torino. Melchiorre Balbiano founded it here in 1941, farming and trading grapes before securing his wine wholesale license. In the post-war years, his son Franco took over, swapping a chemistry career for the cellar. He modernized the operation, moving to a 19th-century farmhouse, introducing bottled wines, and sending them well beyond Piedmont. As president of the Freisa di Chieri and Collina Torinese consortium, he championed the native Freisa grape, raising its profile through research and advocacy. In 2003, the third generation — Luca Balbiano — restored the historic vineyard at Turin’s Villa della Regina, creating Vigna Villa della Regina, Italy’s only DOC wine grown within a city.  Today, 22 hectares of vineyards in Collina Torinese yield benchmark Freisa alongside Barbera, Bonarda, and Malvasia. Balbiano remains rooted in its hills, now shaped by three generations,  just across the river from downtown Torino and a grape’s throw away from the famous \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mole_Antonelliana\"\u003eMole Antonelliana\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFreisa is a close relative to Nebbiolo, and like it, has a long and often noble history throughout Piemonte as both a solo and a blending grape. In recent decades though it’s often been relegated to making fizzy, slightly sweet (“amabile”) everyday wines, which can be charming but maybe not much more. Balbiano is one of a handful of producers who still make a freisa classico – i.e., vinifying it dry and treating it with the same seriousness as its more prestigious cousin. Raised on the historic urban vineyard of Villa della Regina, grapes  see long fermentation in stainless steel and aging in 500-liter French oak tonneaux. Aromas unfold gradually: wild raspberry and dried rose petals mingle with pink pepper and a subtle mineral thread of crushed stone, evoking the calcareous soils and centuries of vine roots. On the palate, vibrant red fruits are sculpted by bright, energetic acidity and supple yet precise tannins. Layers of forest floor, tobacco leaf, and graphite emerge with aeration, adding nuance without overshadowing the fruit. The finish is long and contemplative, leaving a whisper of bitter cherry and saline minerality. This is Freisa elevated — an elegant, intelligent wine that balances finesse with the unmistakable character of its place, old-school while still being fresh and lively, a wine of gravitas but not weightiness. It deserves decanting for an hour or two and a Burgundy stem.          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lyra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41273314443344,"sku":null,"price":74.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/files\/BalbianoFreisaDiChieri.png?v=1754695750"},{"product_id":"lano-rocche-masslupo-barbaresco-2020","title":"Lano Rocche Massalupo Barbaresco 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eGianluigi Lano is an understated, stoic man who works a small certified organic farmstead in San Rocco Seno d’Elvio, Barbaresco.

These terraces, constructed by the Romans on steep morainic soils, are supported by dry stone walls, with pergolas called \u003cem\u003etopia \u003c\/em\u003emade from granite and wood. Originally, these terraces were designed for strategic purposes to protect the valley from Gaulish threats. In Carema, soil are primarily sandy, with a high content of gneiss rocks of glacial origin. Combined with the peculiar alpine weather and high altitude, this allows for mineral-driven Nebbiolos of unprecedented balance and aromatic detail.

For the Milanesio family, winemaking on these challenging terraces has always been a labor of love, with wine serving as a natural reward. Producing Carema wasn't initially viewed as a viable commercial venture, in fact Achille’s father primarily produced wines for his personal consumption, but in recent years Achille joined a handful of new winegrowers in what is nothing less than a rebirth for an historical, and yet almost forgone, appellation. Farming is organic, and winemaking minimal, in order to allow the grapes to express the uniqueness of these vineyards without filters.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lucidity","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41960680915024,"sku":null,"price":88.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/files\/ToglianaCaremaRiserva.png?v=1768351955"},{"product_id":"la-morella-il-monte-cortese-2024","title":"La Morella Il Monte Cortese 2024","description":"","brand":"Scuola di Vino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41978395164752,"sku":null,"price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/products\/il_monte_grande_8912ee15-495b-4366-ad84-50ffe7ce77ec.jpg?v=1636761231"},{"product_id":"gian-luca-colombo-pelaverga-verduno-2024","title":"Gian Luca Colombo Pelaverga Verduno 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e100% Pelaverga, from a small estate parcel in Roddi.
