Descrizione

The Nebbiolo Rosso Gattinara DOCG 2006 by Torraccia represents an excellence of the Piedmont territory, particularly the Gattinara area, renowned for its vineyards on volcanic hills. This wine is made exclusively from the Nebbiolo grape, the prince of Italian reds, which here expresses a decisive and complex character thanks to the unique terroir.

The prolonged and skillful aging gives the wine an elegant and charming structure, with smooth tannins and a broad bouquet ranging from the typical iron notes of nebbiolo to aromas of withered rose, wild berries, and spicy hints of tobacco and licorice. On the palate, it is enveloping, velvety but with a fresh acidity that guarantees longevity and balance.

Perfect with grilled red meats, braised dishes, or aged cheeses, this Gattinara is a sensory journey into the heart of Piedmont's winemaking tradition.
