Descrizione

The Nebbiolo Rosso Ghemme DOCG 2001 by Torraccia represents an elegant expression of Piedmont, produced in a region historically dedicated to the Nebbiolo grape. The hand-harvested grapes reflect the complexity and finesse typical of this variety, with a well-defined yet harmonious tannic structure, refined in wooden barrels for a time that enhances its characteristics without overpowering them.

The 2001 vintage gives the wine a depth of evolved aromas: notes of withered rose, cherry in brandy, sweet tobacco, and slight spicy hints merge into a broad and refined bouquet. On the palate, the sip is full and persistent, with a soft and velvety finish that invites you to linger with each taste.

Perfect with braised meats, roasts, and aged cheeses, this Magnum proves to be an ideal companion for thoughtful tasting moments, capable of telling the story of the Ghemme territory through its Nebbiolo.
