Torbido! 2016 Cascina Ebreo

Torbido! 2016 – Artisan Nebbiolo from Piedmont

Torbido! 2016: a Nebbiolo beyond convention

Torbido! 2016 is not just another red wine from Piedmont; it is a radical and artisanal vision of Nebbiolo. Produced from only 0.2 hectares of vineyards, rooted in silty soils with low percentages of clay and sand, this wine expresses purity and authenticity. The vines, with an average age of 25 years, deliver balance and aromatic complexity, making Torbido! 2016 a unique and highly sought-after wine.

Natural viticulture and traditional winemaking

The cultivation follows organic and natural practices, with manual harvesting to preserve grape integrity. Vinification takes place in stainless steel, with a long 50-day maceration that allows Nebbiolo to fully express its character: vibrant tannins, delicate floral notes, and subtle spicy undertones.

Long aging and exclusive production

Torbido! undergoes 48 months of maturation in seasoned French oak tonneaux, followed by 24 months of refinement in bottle. No artificial clarification is used; time itself performs this task. With only 1,100 bottles produced, Torbido! 2016 stands as an exclusive gem for collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Cascina Ebreo – Great Wines of the Langhe

Introduction

Cascina Ebreo is not just a winery: it is an idea, a free spirit, and an anarchic approach to winemaking. Located in the heart of the Langhe, in Novello, the estate produces wines recognizable for their unique personality, born from passion, experimentation, and absolute respect for the land. Every bottle tells a story of freedom, natural perfection, and harmony with the terroir.

Founded by Swiss Peter Weimer, a former computer programmer and passionate lover of the Langhe, Cascina Ebreo was born from the desire to create wines that faithfully reflect the land, without compromise on conventional techniques. In 1992, Peter purchased 3 hectares of vineyards to restore and an old farmhouse known since the 1800s as Cascina Ebreo. After initial experiments with traditional methods, Peter realized that the wines did not express his vision: they were too constrained by standard rules and enological interventions. He then decided to follow his personal philosophy: let the terroir speak for itself in the glass.

Land and Viticulture

The Novello terroir is unique: the famous “Marne di Sant’Agata laminate” with silt and clay, combined with breezes from the Maritime Alps, give the wines minerality, freshness, and complexity. Here, nature sets the rules.

Cascina Ebreo’s production philosophy is radical and experimental: no chemicals, only indigenous yeasts, no added sulfur. The vineyard and soil are studied and respected, and every harvest is an opportunity to listen to and interpret the land’s language.

Since 2015, the winery has been managed by a group of young winemakers who met Peter and decided to continue his project. These innovators embraced the philosophy of freedom, experimentation, and respect for the terroir, transforming Cascina Ebreo into a creative laboratory where every wine is born without regulatory constraints, but with passion, authenticity, and meticulous care.

Grapes and Production

Cascina Ebreo’s vineyards are located in the heart of MGA Ravera, a hill known for producing some of the most elegant and long-lived wines in the area. Here, Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto coexist with aromatic varieties like Sauvignon Blanc and Malvasia Moscata Piemontese, offering a complete range of territorial expressions.

The combination of vine age, careful vineyard management, and natural winemaking produces wines that tell the story of the Langhe, its complexity, and authenticity. Each Cascina Ebreo wine is a unique sensory experience: from the freshness and minerality of the whites to the structure and longevity of the reds, every sip is a dialogue between the land and the taster.

Philosophy and Creative Approach

Attention to detail, absence of chemical interventions, and exclusive use of indigenous yeasts make each bottle unique, able to move both enthusiasts and connoisseurs. Cascina Ebreo demonstrates how creative freedom and respect for the land can come together to produce unconventional yet extraordinary wines.
