Torraccia del Piantavigna 2004 Nebbiolo (Gattinara)
- $32
This is an exceedingly pleasant wine (in a very heavy bottle) with modern tones of spice and leather that sit besides Nebbiolo’s characteristic bouquet of wild berries and cola. The wine tastes full and generous in the mouth and offers both sweet and sour elements on the close.

Torraccia del Piantavigna 2004 Nebbiolo (Ghemme)
- $32
Tight, polished and bright, this expression of Nebbiolo (with 10% Vespolina) would pair with game meat, pork ribs or succulent lamb chops. Aromas include cherry cola, mesquite and balsam notes of chopped herbs and mint. The mouthfeel is surprisingly soft and supple.

Mostly Nebbiolo (90%) with a small component of Vespalina grapes, this dark garnet colored Ghemma offers aromas of wild mushroom, dry earth, spice, prune and cassis. There’s an interesting elegance here that is accented by crispness and firmness.

Torraccia del Piantavigna 2004 Ramale Nebbiolo (Colline Novaresi)
- $20
Here is a playful interpretation of Nebbiolo with the wild berry and spice aromas you usually associate with the variety without its usual austerity and somberness. The wine closes with a firm, drying feel and a sour blast of berry-like fruit.
