Descrizione

The Nebbiolo Rosso Gattinara DOCG 2018 by Torraccia is a wine that embodies the elegance and tradition of the hills of Vercellese, in Piedmont. This cru is produced exclusively with Nebbiolo grapes, a precious variety that creates complex and long-lived wines.

The aging process in oak barrels gives this Gattinara a refined balance, enhancing its soft tannic structure and intense aromas of red fruits, spices, and subtle balsamic notes. On the palate, it is harmonious, with a vibrant freshness and a persistent finish recalling hints of violet and tobacco.

Perfect to accompany roasted meat dishes, aged cheeses, and game, this Nebbiolo Rosso Gattinara 2018 is the ideal choice for those seeking a wine with character, capable of expressing the richness of its terroir. The Magnum version amplifies its power and longevity.
