Descrizione

The Nebbiolo Rosso Ghemme DOCG 2013 by Torraccia is an elegant expression of the prestigious Nebbiolo grape variety, cultivated in the Piedmontese hills of the Ghemme area, renowned for its unique microclimate and mineral-rich morainic soils. This wine is made from carefully selected grapes and fermented with attention to enhance the varietal characteristics and offer a refined profile.

During aging, it undergoes a long rest in wooden barrels, which gives it structure and complexity, maintaining a balance between silky tannins and balanced acidity. In the glass, it shows an intense garnet red color, while its aroma releases scents of ripe red fruits, withered roses, and light spicy notes. The taste is intense, harmonious, and persistent, with balsamic returns that enhance its elegance.

Perfect paired with roasted meats, braised dishes, or aged cheeses, this Nebbiolo Rosso Ghemme DOCG 2013 is a sensory journey between tradition and territory.
