Descrizione

The Nebbiolo Rosso Gattinara DOCG 2016 by Torraccia is an authentic expression of the Piedmontese territory, known for its morainic soils and the influence of the continental climate that give character and structure to the wine. Produced exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes, this wine stands out for its aging in wooden barrels which enhances its complexity and longevity.

In the glass, it presents an intense ruby red color, enriched with garnet reflections typical of aging. On the nose, it releases aromas of violet, ripe cherry, sweet spices and light balsamic notes, while on the palate it reveals itself elegant and velvety, with refined tannins and a persistent finish that invites sip after sip.

Ideal to pair with red meats, braised dishes or aged cheeses, this Nebbiolo tells the strength of Gattinara's winemaking tradition with a contemporary freshness.
