CURIOSITY: Raria means loose in the Piedmontese dialect, so called due to its loose bunch. This is how it differs from the others, the Freisa grape is one of the oldest and most important in Piedmont and thanks to the well-present but delicate tannins, it’s very suitable for  aging…..trying is believing
