Description

The Nebbiolo Rosso Ghemme DOCG 2004 by Torraccia elegantly expresses all the refinement of one of the noblest grape varieties of Piedmont. Coming from the Ghemme area, in the Novara region, this wine is characterized by the perfect balance between tradition and territory. Nebbiolo, cultivated on morainic soils, provides structure and a very persistent tannic texture, enriched with intense aromas of withered roses, ripe cherry, and light hints of sweet spices. The careful aging, prolonged for years in wooden barrels, offers a clear aromatic complexity, with notes of tobacco and a slight balsamic hint.

Aged for a time that allows the wine to express its full maturity, it proves to be an ideal companion for red meats, braised dishes, or aged cheeses. The magnum format amplifies the harmonious evolution over time, making this bottle a prized piece for enthusiasts of both the Ghemme Denomination and prestigious Piedmontese wines.

Winery history

The company's origins date back to the 1950s, when Pierino Piantavigna planted the first vineyards; it was officially established in 1997 by Alessandro Francoli. Over time ownership and management have evolved to include local family collaborations and an expansion of vineyards and production, while maintaining a focus on the viticultural traditions of the Colline Novaresi.

Production philosophy

Showcasing the territory through careful, low-impact viticulture, prioritizing native grape varieties and practices that bring out the character of the soil and climate. The approach combines respect for local tradition with modern winemaking techniques to produce wines with long aging potential.
