  • Langhe Doc Freisa
    LANGHE D.O.C FREISA – BRUSAIA "Brusaia", or "burned": so is the land where one of the oldest vines of Piedmont grows, suitable both in clay soils than those marly and for this reason particularly common in the different wine areas of Piedmont. The Langhe Freisa presents ruby red COLOR with violet hues, that foretaste a complex SMELL, winey, fruity, typically even with some hints of vegetables. The TASTE is dry, very tannic and astringent: for its distin- ctive acid component, Freisa is perfect in PAIRING to elabo- rate meals, tasty and fat, such as those of traditional Piedmontese cuisine. ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS AND DESCRIPTION LOCATION OF THE VINEYARDS:: Piemonte - Langhe, Santo Stefano Belbo (CN) METHOD: The vinification of Freisa is the classic red vinifi- cation. The grapes are crushed, de-stemmed and fermented in vats at a controlled temperature (28/30 ° C) for about 7-10 days, depending on the vintage. In this period about 2/3 pum- pingover are made to promote fermentation and its processes. After fermentation, a transfer is made to eliminate the lees, then the wine is aged for about 3 months in stainless steel vats and subsequently put in bottles. COLOR: Dark ruby red, with purple tones. SMELL: Complex aroma, typically fruity, persistent and vinous with some hints of vegetal scents. TASTE: Dry, tannic and astringent. FOOD MATCHING: Once widely used because it matched very well with the old Piedmont cuisine. Because of its high acidity and tannins, it is great to be combined with high-fat meals as it leaves the palate very clean.

  • Wines by the Glass —
    The Town Company menus draw from a range of historic and cultural inspirations that have come to shape the Kansas City experience as we know it today. This includes a commitment to local ingredients and handmade items from our very own KC makers. The wine program is a continuation of that path, with a focus on indigenous varietals, complimented by exemplary expressions of those grapes from around the winemaking world. It is a reflection on the importance of agriculture and how farmers, vineyards and winemaking traditions have come to shape the way we learn about and enjoy wine. The bottle selections are listed according to body style. As you descend through each section, the gradients will guide you in correlation to the weight of the wine. Here at The Town Company, we believe the dining experience is enhanced by a natural progression of temperatures, textures and colors. We encourage you to explore new sensations while also staying true to what you enjoy. - All wines come from organic, biodynamic and or/sustainable farming practices. - - All wines are produced from hand picked grapes. - - All wines are produced with minimal intervention. - - All wines use indigenous yeasts. - WINES BY THE GLASS — CHARDONNAY Domaine des Terres Dorées, Charme, Crémant de Bourgogne, Beaujolais, France 16 16 LAMBRUSCO DI SORBARA Famiglia Carafoli, L’Onesta, Emilia-Romagna, Italy NV 12 RIESLING Teutonic Wine Co, Pear Blossom Vineyard, Columbia Gorge, Oregon 19 14 MACABEU Rexach Baques, La Mina, Penedès, Spain 18 15 BIANCHETTA GENOVESE Enoteca Bisson, Ü Pastine, Liguria, Italy 18 16 CHENIN BLANC Broc Cellars, Frei Vineyard, Solano County, California 17 13 PAÏS Tinto de Rulo, Pipeño, Bio-Bio Valley, Chile 19 13 GARNACHA Bodega Nietos de Sra.
