Barbera: great Piedmont wine! For Superior selection the aging happen in large cask as tradition imposes. Delicate as a dancing maid but at the same time austere as a step of ballet. Piroet includes the ancient traditions and the delicatessen of a dancer fused in a harmony of perfumes and emotions.
