Descrizione

The Nebbiolo Rosso Ghemme DOCG Riserva 2012 by Torraccia is a refined example of the Piedmontese winemaking tradition, coming from the historic Ghemme area, located on the Novara hills. This wine is made from Nebbiolo grapes, a variety famous for its elegance and longevity, which here expresses a bold and enveloping character. The prolonged aging in wood enhances the sophisticated notes of small red fruits, sweet spices, and light balsamic hints, while the well-integrated tannic structure ensures a harmonious balance and remarkable gustatory persistence.

In the glass, it appears with an intense ruby color, bright and lively. The aromatic profile opens with scents of withered rose, cherry, and an earthy touch characteristic of the territory. Perfect paired with red meats, roasts, and aged cheeses, this Nebbiolo Rosso Riserva offers a sensory experience that celebrates the excellence and identity of DOCG Ghemme.
