Roero docg "Torretta" Marco Porello 2014

This type of wine is endowed with a great balance and pleasantness: it is produced with Nebbiolo grapes deriving from the “Torretta” vineyard, situated in back of Canale, in the center of the Roero territory. This wine presents a ruby red colour, with some garnet-colored reflexes, while its includes an intense and complex bouquet of blueberries, strawberries, violet, in addition to hints of tobacco and spices. The taste is a warm one, and it is possible to recognize great balance and acidity; moreover, it is a persistent wine, especially if combined with roasted or braised beef, boiled meat typical of Piedmont, game and seasoned cheeses.

In 1930 Cesare Porello transforms his properties in a real winery, even if this last was of little sizes, by combining wine’s to peaches’ production, a typical product of Canale. Later Cesare’s sons decide to devote themselves only to vineyards, by purchasing new territories and abandoning peaches’ production. Nowadays the cave is managed by Marco Porello, Cesare’s niece, that after the enological studies in Alba and after some experiences in Europe, has begun to run his family’s vineyards. During the year the grapes are treated with a specific attention and effort, because Marco’s purpose is to obtain wine of quality.
