BULK WINE
At Piero Prasso’s Winery you have the opportunity to get bulk wine in Bag in Box
or Demijohns even at home with deliveries in Piedmont and Lombardy.
BAG IN BOX
You can buy Piero Prasso’s wines in a 10 Liter Bag in Box containing Prasso red or white Piedmontese wines – or in a 5 Liter Bag in Box on request.
What’s the Bag in Box made of?
The Bag in Box is made of a poly laminated plastic material. Thanks to its heat-sealed dispensing tap, the liquid spills out without letting the air in.
What are the advantages?
The bag is filled with wine with no air inside so that, when you empty it, you let the liquid out without oxygen entering: this is possible thanks to its specific tap and the flexibility of the bag material.
In this way you avoid oxidation and all the problems happening when wine remains in open bottles.
So nowadays the Bag in Box can be considered the best container on the market to use for everyday wines, as it keeps wine ready-to-use, even for occasional consumption.
DEMIJOHNS
At Piero Prasso’s Winery you can also buy wines in 54 Liter or 34 Liter demi-johns, delivered home in Piedmont and Lombardy
Prasso’s Customers Opinions
Fast and timely delivery.
I don’t need to worry anymore about buying wines, as Piero delivers them home, directly from his cellar.
I couldn’t believe how convenient home deliveries of wines can be. Over the last year I got wine delivered from Piero so I’m not worrying about it any more.
