Description

The Nebbiolo Rosso Ghemme DOCG "Vigna Pelizzane" 2015 by Torraccia represents a genuine tribute to the Piedmontese territory, particularly to the historic Ghemme area, the heart of Nebbiolo production. This wine is made from Nebbiolo grapes, a noble and complex variety, which elegantly reflects the land and climate of the area, characterized by moraine soils rich in minerals.

Aged in wooden barrels, this cru develops an intense and refined aromatic profile, with hints of withered rose, cherry, sweet spices, and a touch of licorice. On the palate, it stands out for its vibrant acidity and well-integrated tannins, ensuring a perfect balance between power and finesse. Ideal with Piedmontese cuisine dishes such as braised meats and roasts, the Nebbiolo Ghemme DOCG 2015 offers a sensory experience dedicated to lovers of structured and highly expressive wine.

Winery history

The company's origins date back to the 1950s, when Pierino Piantavigna planted the first vineyards; it was officially established in 1997 by Alessandro Francoli. Over time ownership and management have evolved to include local family collaborations and an expansion of vineyards and production, while maintaining a focus on the viticultural traditions of the Colline Novaresi.

Production philosophy

Showcasing the territory through careful, low-impact viticulture, prioritizing native grape varieties and practices that bring out the character of the soil and climate. The approach combines respect for local tradition with modern winemaking techniques to produce wines with long aging potential.
