Description
The grapes for Ramale come from our best vineyards in the hills of Ghemme outside of the D.O.C.G. area, but receive the same care and attention. The wine is aged for at least 24 months and whilst it is made to be drunk slightly younger than Ghemme and Gattinara, most vintages can be kept for many years. It is a rich full-bodied wine with lots of character. It has a deep ruby-red colour. The nose is of ripe red fruits and violets with spicy notes.

It was Alessandro Francoli, president of the Luigi Francoli distillery, who founded the company in 1997. A company now known in Italy and worldwide for the quality of its innovative wines which, at the same time, reflect the local character and traditions.
Torraccia del Piantavigna is situated in Alto Piemonte in the foothills of Monte Rosa, perhaps the most emblematic of all Italian mountains. The company owns nearly 100 acres of hand-tended vineyards growing almost exclusively three local grape varieties, Nebbiolo and Vespolina for reds and Autochthonous single grape variety as specified for our DOC wines for whites. The wines are all vinified and aged in our cellars and bottled on our own production line.
The winery makes exclusively quality wines, mainly reds but with some white and rosé, including our illustrious Ghemme and Gattinara D.O.C.G. wines, whose constant outstanding quality is testified by the dozens of prestigious awards received for these wines. In particular, the ‘Tre Bicchieri’ has been awarded to one of our wines for each of the last ten years by Gambero Rosso, the bible of Italian wine. Read more
