Product Description
Torraccia del Piantavigna “Neb” Colline Novaresi DOC
100% Nebbiolo. The wine has a bright ruby red color with violet hues, a sign of its youth and freshness. The nose has notes of fruits and flowers (especially violet), with gentle balsamic notes. In the mouth, the wine is satisfying, fresh and balanced, with soft tannins.
The 2018 vintage is the first vintage for this wine, released after one year of aging. It is our expression of Nebbiolo, the typical grape variety of our area. Crisp, young, fresh and fragrant with relatively low alcoholic content it is a perfect wine for everyday drinking.
“The underlying phylosophy of the winery is to make wines that exalt the natural properties of the grape, exploiting the cooler climate of the foothills of the alps to produce wines of elegance. Wood is used sparingly and almost exclusively medium to large casks to not mask the wines natural characteristics. ”
