Torraccia Ghemme DOCG 2017

A red wine from Torraccia, made from 90% Nebbiolo and 10% Vespolina grown in Ghemme on clayey, relatively acidic alluvial soils. The grapes are hand-harvested in October, with maceration on the skins and malolactic fermentation. The traditional version ages for at least three years, finishing with at least six months in bottle. It is a structured, elegant red suited to bottle ageing. In the glass it shows ruby red with evolved reflections, with fine aromas of violet and liquorice. On the palate it is dry, savoury and harmonious, supported by present tannins and pleasant freshness. Serve at 16-17 °C, ideally after opening a few minutes ahead.
