The Pira family has been farming the highest peak in the village of Perno, since 1876.
Giorgio, his wife and two children are dedicated to Nebbiolo and carrying the tradition set forth by their ancestors.
Pira’s parcels are all face north and are as steeply inclined. A hands off approach in the cellar results in beautifully elegant wines.
“Deep rose colored. Scents of roses and subtle red fruit. Subtle red fruit, earth with soft silky and seductive. Firm mouthful of spice and tannin on a lightly medium frame. Finishes with a classic kiss of earth and roses.”

“Light ruby red in color. Finesse, precision and transparency, fragrance, with flawless purity, silky texture. Rich but incredibly refined tannins, spices and tar and roses, dried fruits, amazing depth and elegance, slightly balsamic finish with amazing length.”

“Full ruby red in color. Brooding bouquet of dark fruit tones, sweet spices, herbs, and cedar. Mouth filling and medium to full bodied on the palate, but with very smooth tannins buried by fruit. Promising future.”
