Descrizione

The Nebbiolo Rosso Ghemme DOCG Vigna Pelizzane 2008 by Torraccia represents an elegant expression of the Novara territory, rooted in the historic hilly area of Ghemme, the heart of the Piedmont Langhe. This wine is made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes, a variety famous for its tannic structure and the ability to express complex aromatic nuances. After traditional fermentation, the aging takes place in oak barrels that impart balance and a refined olfactory persistence.

In the glass it shows an intense garnet color, while on the nose it reveals scents of withered rose, cherry, and delicate spicy notes. The palate, structured yet harmonious, delivers lively tannins with a clean and persistent finish. Perfect paired with grilled red meats or truffle-based dishes, it is the ideal choice for those seeking a wine with a strong and authentic character, capable of telling the story of the territory with elegance and longevity.
