More questions
The Nebbiolo Rosso Gattinara DOCG Jeroboam 2008 by Torraccia represents an authentic tribute to the Piedmontese territory, a profound expression of the Nebbiolo grape cultivated on the hills of Gattinara. This wine stands out for its elegance and structure, the result of a long aging process that provides complexity and harmony. On the nose, intense aromas of withered rose, ripe cherries, and light spicy notes emerge, accompanied by balsamic hints that tell of the mineral character of the volcanic soil of upper Piedmont.
On the palate, it is enveloping and austere, with soft but firm tannins, balanced by vibrant freshness. The persistence is long, with aromatic returns that invite a second tasting. Perfect with red meat dishes, roasts, and aged cheeses, this Nebbiolo is also suitable for meditation, enhancing the oenological tradition of this renowned denomination. A vintage to preserve and celebrate over time.
