Descrizione

The Nebbiolo Rosso Ghemme DOCG Jeroboam 2001 by Torraccia represents an authentic masterpiece of Piedmontese winemaking tradition, rooted in the charming territory of Ghemme, in the province of Novara. This wine is made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes, carefully harvested and fermented using traditional methods that highlight the varietal characteristics of this noble grape variety.

The aging, extended over the years in wooden barrels, delivers a deep aromatic complexity, where notes of withered rose, elegant cherry, licorice, and spicy nuances harmoniously intertwine with a delicate earthy scent. On the palate, it is robust and enveloping, with well-integrated tannins and a persistent finish that recalls the unique microclimate and stony soils of the production area.

Perfect to accompany structured dishes such as roasts, braises, and aged cheeses, this Nebbiolo Ghemme manages to combine longevity and pleasantness, offering a rich and memorable sensory experience.
