Description
Ramale by Torraccia del Piantavigna is produced in Piedmont in the Ghemme area with Nebbiolo grapes.
With clayey soils of alluvial origin and excellent exposure, the grapes are brought to the cellar to proceed with soft pressing before fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Frequent pumping over ensures the correct oxygenation of the must, the extraction of tannins, aromas and colour. After malolactic fermentation, the wine ages for at least 3 years in French oak barrels from Allier and large oak barrels from Slovenia before remaining for at least 6 months in the bottle.
Intense ruby red with garnet reflections, it surprises the nose with wild berries, floral hints of violet and a pleasant spiciness of black pepper, coffee powder and wood. Dry on the palate, it presents worked tannins, excellent structure and an orderly progression of compact and clean flavours before a long finish.
Suitable for savoury first courses based on meat sauce, it also goes very well with stewed and grilled red meats as well as aged cheeses and cured meats.
